A rotation locking system of a motor of a fan is provided. A closed-loop control circuit outputs an initial duty cycle signal according to a current rotational speed and a target rotational speed. A driver circuit outputs a driving signal to the motor to drive the motor to rotate according to the initial duty cycle signal. A lookup table arithmetic circuit looks up, from a lookup table, two reference duty cycles correspond to two reference rotational speeds that are respectively equal to the current rotational speed and the target rotational speed. The lookup table arithmetic circuit calculates a difference between the two reference duty cycles. A speed feedback control circuit compensates the initial duty cycle signal according to the difference to output a final duty cycle signal to the driver circuit. The driver circuit drives the motor to rotate according to the final duty cycle signal.

A ceiling fan includes a rotatable hub adapted to be suspended from the ceiling. The hub includes at least one fan blade adapted for rotating with the hub.

A linear fan including a fan blade attached a fan frame by a wire spring having a first end attached to the fan blade and a second end attached to the fan frame. The fan blade includes a free end such that the blade oscillates by pivoting on the wire spring. The the wire spring flexes to enable the fan blade to oscillate. The fan includes a motor for driving the oscillation of the fan blade. The motor includes an armature or permanent magnet connected to the fan blade and a stator assembly connected to the fan frame. The stator assembly includes a current carrying coil wrapped around a leg of a stator core. The motor is controlled to vary the direction of the current being carried in the coil to thereby change the direction of the magnetic field created by the stator assembly and cause the fan blade to oscillate.

An apparatus for connecting one or more guy wires to a down rod, the connector having first and second separable portions which form an aperture for receiving the down rod. At least one of the first or second portions includes at least one passage adapted for releasably receiving a portion of the guy wire. The guy wire may include an anchor, and the passage for receiving the guy wire may be adapted for capturing the anchor so as to preclude movement of the guy wire in a radial direction.

A ceiling fan assembly having a motor with a rotor and a stator, at least one blade operably coupled to the stator, a motor shaft extending from the stator and having an internal wire passage and a wire opening in a side of the motor shaft, with the wire opening providing access to the internal wire passage, a control mounting plate having a motor shaft opening through which the motor shaft extends and an electronic control unit carried by a side of the control mounting plate.

A ceiling fan assembly or similar air-moving device can include a motor for rotating one or more blades to drive a volume of air about a space. The ceiling fan assembly can further include a hanger ball with an indexing pin. The ball hanger can be received by a mounting bracket so that, via an alignment guide, the indexing pin of the hanger ball aligns with an indexing groove on the mounting bracket.
