Abstract
A ceiling fan assembly an upper motor housing, a lower motor housing, and a magnet seat formed in a portion of the upper and lower housing configured to seat a rotor comprising one or more magnets and mount the rotor to the upper and lower motor housings.
Claims26
A ceiling fan assembly comprising:
- a stator assembly having a non-rotating motor shaft and stator slidably and non-rotationally coupled to the non-rotating motor shaft;
- a rotor assembly having a rotor comprising one or more magnets;
- an upper motor housing and a lower motor housing surrounding the stator assembly and the rotor assembly;
- an upper bearing slidably mounted to the non-rotating motor shaft and rotatably coupling the rotor assembly to the stator assembly;
- a first spacer compressively retained between the upper bearing and the stator assembly to fix the sliding location of the first bearing relative to the stator along the non-rotating motor shaft;
- and
- a magnet seat formed in a portion of the upper and lower motor housings configured to seat the rotor and mount the rotor to the upper and lower motor housings.
