YS TECH VS. EBM PAPST

Overview

EBM Papst is a German manufacturer of electric motors and fans. In addition to offering Axial fans, impellers, heat sinks, and thermal modules, EBM also offers electronics, motor and drive systems, pumps, valves, and various digital services.

YS Tech USA is a thermal solution manufacturer based out of Huntington Beach, CA. YS Tech offers a complete line of Axial AC and DC fans, EC impellers, DC impellers, heat sinks, and thermal modules. YS Tech also offers custom solutions to fit the specifications of your project.

While EBM has a more extensive product offering, YS Tech offers similar quality thermal solution products as EBM with shorter lead times, more affordable prices, and better customization options.

Lead Times

One of the issues EBM PAPST is struggling with is long lead times. Many current and former EBM customers have complained about long lead times causing significant delays in their products.

YS Tech currently has one of the best lead times in the industry. Projects from YS Tech are completed, on average, within 14 weeks. Additionally, YS Tech provides direct crosses for nearly all EBM fans. YS Tech can create custom solutions for fans that cannot be directly crossed.

Customization

EBM PAPST has an extensive catalog of parts, however, if EBM does not have a fan in stock that fits your project, you may be out of luck. EBM does not typically offer customization on small projects, and the excessive lead times can make it extremely difficult to get a custom solution for your project on time.

YS Tech offers extensive customization options. You can customize the size, shape, or even request a special design for your application. Additionally, YS Tech offers customization on lower volume projects of 1,000+ units, allowing you to receive a bespoke solution even if you have a smaller volume application. If YS Tech does not offer a direct cross from an EBM fan, they can create a custom cross that will deliver quicker than a standard EBM fan.

Pricing

As one of the largest thermal solution manufacturers in the world, EBM PAPST fans usually cost a premium price.

YS Tech is a highly lean manufacturer. With YS Tech, you can typically expect to save roughly 25% versus the competition.

Conclusion

EBM Papst has a larger product selection than YS Tech, and both companies offer similar quality fans. However, YS Tech offers significantly better lead times, customization, and price than EBM Papst.
