Lau 00986716 Blower Wheel
The Lau 00986716 Blower Wheel, model A12-11A, is a heavy-duty double inlet belt drive component engineered for high-demand HVACR applications. Professionals specify this 12 5/8" diameter wheel for its robust galvanized steel construction and Preslok center disc technology, which ensures each of the 43 individual blades is mechanically locked to the center disc for superior structural integrity. With a 11 1/8" width and a 1" bore, this universal replacement wheel is designed to handle consistent performance in furnace blowers and air conditioning units. The integrated 1/4" x 1/8" keyway and single set screw provide a secure fit on standard motor shafts. Rated for a 2000 Max RPM, this wheel supports both CW and CCW rotation, offering maximum flexibility for field installations. Whether you are performing a furnace blower wheel replacement or upgrading a commercial air handler, this Lau A12-11A wheel delivers the static pressure and airflow reliability required by veteran contractors.
Key Benefits- Universal Compatibility: The Preslok center disc design serves as a versatile replacement for various double inlet configurations.
- High-Speed Durability: Rated for up to 2000 RPM, making it suitable for high-static pressure belt-driven systems.
- Corrosion Resistance: Galvanized steel blades and hubs prevent premature failure in high-humidity heating and cooling environments.
- Flexible Rotation: Engineered for CW/CCW rotation, reducing the need to stock multiple specialized parts.
- Precise Balance: Factory-set alignment ensures quiet operation and reduces vibration-related wear on motor bearings and belts.
Is the Lau 00986716 compatible with direct drive motors?
No, this model is specifically engineered for belt drive applications. Using it with a direct drive motor may lead to improper fit and performance issues due to the hub configuration.
What is the primary advantage of the Preslok design?
The Preslok system mechanically attaches the center disc to each blade. This provides higher mechanical strength compared to standard tab-lock wheels, which is critical when operating near the 2000 Max RPM limit.
Can I use this wheel if my existing shaft is only 3/4"?
This wheel has a 1" bore. Compatibility with a 3/4" shaft would require a high-quality reducer bushing, though a direct match is always recommended for heavy-duty HVACR performance.
