Default Gable Exhaust fan as part of DC

Hello all,

My home shop is in a detached 2-car garage, which currently has ZERO
cars in it (minor gloat!), but at most will have just 1 car. Plus, the
garage is an extra 6-8ft. deep and wide over a "standard" 2-car.

DC is high on my priority list, and I'm researching that now. BUT in
addition, my thinking is that I can *supplement* the cleaning of the
air by adding a gable ventilation fan to the garage, e.g. the Broan 353
Gable Fan.

My question: will the life expectancy of these types of fans be
seriously shortened in this application? I'm thinking of the (higher
than normal) amount of airborne dust that will be passing past the
motor.

Any feedback is appreciated.
