GardTec SC50-W2 50 mm Wire Form Fan Guard: High-Airflow Nickel-Chrome Protection
A 4-position, 3-ring metal fan guard for 50 mm cooling fans. Rounded wire construction helps protect fan blades and nearby components while maintaining 95% airflow efficiency.
✅ Designed for 50 mm Cooling Fans
The GardTec SC50-W2 is sized for 50 mm axial cooling fans. Rounded wire surfaces help air enter the fan evenly while reducing the turbulence associated with stamped openings. 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 SC50-W2 50 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 SC50-W2 supports dependable cooling in compact electronics, communication equipment, power supplies, and other 50 mm cooling fan locations. 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 50 mm fan footprint when the mounting layout and dimensions match.

📦 Best-Fit Applications
Use the SC50-W2 for compact electronics, communication equipment, power supplies, and other 50 mm cooling fan locations. 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 4-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 50 mm fan size.
2. Check the mounting-hole pattern against the 4-position guard layout.
3. Verify that the 3-ring design provides the coverage required for the opening.
4. Allow clearance for fasteners, wiring, and nearby components.
