ebm-papst brings AxiForce, RVE45 fans and EC-fan retrofits to Compamed 2026

ebm-papst will use its Compamed 2026 stand (Hall 8A, Booth D02, Düsseldorf, 16–19 November) to present a two-track offering: fan solutions designed for new medical devices and retrofit concepts for modernising existing hospital and care-facility ventilation.

Fan solutions for medical devices

The AxiForce series of compact axial fans targets applications that demand high airflow at low noise. Typical use cases span CT and MRI systems, mammography equipment, and laboratory or disinfection devices. The series pairs aerodynamically optimised fan technology with intelligent control electronics to cool sensitive components reliably while keeping the acoustic environment comfortable for patients and operators.

For higher-airflow requirements, ebm-papst is showing the RVE45 radial fan. Integrated control electronics allow precise regulation of both airflow and pressure, which the company says makes the unit suitable for ventilators, alternating-pressure mattresses, and other medical applications where quiet, reliable operation is critical. Its compact form factor is intended to ease integration into space-constrained device configurations.

Retrofit concepts for existing infrastructure

Alongside new-product development, ebm-papst is addressing the growing need to modernise installed ventilation systems. Retrofit packages built around modern EC fans and FanGrid solutions are aimed at hospitals and care facilities that want to update their ventilation to meet current and future requirements without a full replacement. As a system provider, the company states it supports such projects from the initial analysis stage through to implementation.

Systems approach behind the products

ebm-papst frames its medical-technology portfolio around the integration of aerodynamics, motor technology, and electronics into a single application-specific solution. The company notes that rising demands for energy efficiency, operational safety, and comfort are making medical applications more complex and pushing the field toward holistic concepts that go beyond individual components. It positions its systems expertise as a way to help device manufacturers design equipment that is efficient, reliable, and future-proof.
