GardTec SC60-W3 60 mm Wire Form Fan Guard: High-Airflow Nickel-Chrome Protection
A 2-position, 4-ring metal fan guard for 60 mm cooling fans. Rounded wire construction helps protect fan blades and nearby components while maintaining 95% airflow efficiency.
✅ Designed for 60 mm Cooling Fans
The GardTec SC60-W3 is sized for 60 mm axial cooling fans. Its two-position mounting arrangement fits applications that do not use a conventional four-hole guard pattern. Confirm the fan dimensions and mounting pattern before ordering so the guard aligns correctly with the installation.
Protect the Fan Without Restricting Cooling Air
The GardTec SC60-W3 60 mm wire fan guard provides a physical barrier between rotating fan blades and fingers, cables, or loose objects. Its rounded bright nickel chrome wire profile guides air into the fan more directly than a restrictive stamped-metal opening, helping equipment remove heat with less turbulence and objectionable noise.
GardTec wire-form designs can deliver 23–30% greater airflow and heat removal than optimized sheet-metal guards. With 95% airflow efficiency, the SC60-W3 supports dependable cooling in equipment with two-point mounting layouts, compact electronic housings, and 60 mm cooling fans. Matching the guard to the fan helps reduce unnecessary fan workload and supports longer service life.
🌬️ Open Air PathRounded wire surfaces reduce obstruction so the fan can move cooling air efficiently. 🛡️ Blade ProtectionCreates a durable barrier that helps keep fingers, wires, and loose objects away from the fan. 🔇 Lower TurbulenceA smooth wire profile helps limit airflow disturbance that can add unwanted operating noise. ⚙️ Equipment CoolingSupports consistent heat removal in electronic and industrial equipment.
Key Features & Benefits
- Efficient fan protection: Shields the blade opening while preserving the airflow needed to cool internal components.
- Rounded wire construction: Promotes a smoother air path than many flat stamped guards.
- Improved thermal performance: Helps the cooling fan exhaust heat without working against an unnecessarily restrictive barrier.
- Durable metal design: Suited to repeated use in computers, instruments, controls, and other electronic equipment.
- Simple retrofit choice: Fits a standard 60 mm fan footprint when the mounting layout and dimensions match.

📦 Best-Fit Applications
Use the SC60-W3 for equipment with two-point mounting layouts, compact electronic housings, and 60 mm cooling fans. The guard is appropriate where airflow, heat removal, and protection from blade contact are all important.
🔧 Installation Notes
Disconnect power first: Shut down and unplug the equipment before installing or replacing a fan guard.
Verify alignment: Match the guard size and 2-position mounting pattern to the fan and housing.
Keep the air path clear: Route cables and other components away from the fan blades and inlet.
📏 Selection Checklist
1. Confirm a 60 mm fan size.
2. Check the mounting-hole pattern against the 2-position guard layout.
3. Verify that the 4-ring design provides the coverage required for the opening.
4. Allow clearance for fasteners, wiring, and nearby components.
