#7 Stator

The stator part gives off a magnetic field. This powers the electric fan’s spinning
armature, which is coil-shaped and electrically induced.

The armature is responsible for sending electronic conduction throughout the

field to power the fan’s torque.

#8 Oscillator Knob
One of the most integral features of an electric fan is its movement. You want a
fan that can rotate back and forth to get more coverage.

The oscillator knob, as its name suggests, aids in the fan’s oscillating movements.
It’s located behind the fan’s head.

In addition, you’ll notice that the knob extends from the fan’s cover. Pulling it
upward activates its oscillating mode while pushing it down keeps it in place.

#9 Back Cover
The back cover of the electric fan protects all of its internal parts located in the
head. This includes the gearbox, oscillator knob, electric wires, and copper
windings.

#10 Vertical Spindle

You can find this spindle part near the electric fan’s oscillator knob. Instead of
moving in a parallel direction to the blades like the main spindle, the vertical
spindle moves perpendicularly along with the oscillating motion of the fan.

#11 Gearbox
This is your electric fan’s main unit, located at its head. It mostly consists of
mechanical hardware. Most, if not all, electric fans come with three speed
options: low, medium, and high.

The gearbox controls the energy output. It also transitions the output to either
reduce the speed or increase the torque.

#12 Back Cover Fixing Screw

In the back of the fan head where the oscillating rod is held, there’s a back cover
fixing screw. This screw bolts together the back casing of the fan with the rotary
gear.

#13 Bush Bearing

Since an electric fan is filled with numerous rotating gear, you might encounter
the issue of too much friction. This is where the bush bearing comes in.

It’s created to make a bearing surface for the mechanical parts. The internal
bearing is coated in an oil film or made with plastic to provide the ideal working
space for the electric fan’s internal parts.
