Old structure

Label not able to

seal the oil spilling

Sleeve bearing not able to

seal by old structure to

prevent the evaporation of

lubricating oil effectively

New design

Advantage: dust proof and anti-lubrication spilled

reduce the gap between

the blade and stator

stand for preventing

the dust entering and

lubricant leaking

effectively.

Uses the entire sealed bearings

structure to prevent the

evaporation of lubricating oil

effectively

Ceramic Bearing

system

1. Lubricant & Buffer Ditch: Recycle of oil route for bearing and shaft by oil ditch

Prevention of shocking structure

2. Ceramic Shaft & Bearing: Long operating life and stability

3. New Lubricant : work temp -40c ~150c

4. Dust Proof Design – ANSI/IEC IP5X Verified
