... making more than 340,000 motors a day. Emerson Ceiling Fan motors were used in other ceiling fan companies until recent years. Emerson Fan Company made electric fan motors for Casablanca Fan Company in their beginning years. Emerson ceiling fans created the legendary K55 fan motor over a decade ago that is used in their best fan models. This motor was the first ceiling fan motor to use the flywheel stack motor technology used today by only these fan manufacturers: Fanimation fans, Casablanca fans and
Tommy Bahama ceiling fans. Just three years ago, Emerson fans introduced the K55XL, which is an upgraded version of the K55 motor. The K55XL utilizes a 33% larger rotor than the previous model, the largest steel ball bearings in the industry ensuring quieter operation, and larger stack height to generate more fan torque, ultimately creating better air circulation.
The First Capacitor was Invented by Emerson Fans
Since the beginning of the ceiling fan industry, fan manufacturers would have to make their fans with taping copper windings to change the speeds of the ceiling fan. The taping of copper windings consisted of only energizing the primary and Ox windings of the copper wiring with in the motor casing. Each ceiling fan motor had to have up to 30 lbs of copper wiring to facilitate the tapping, making a very heavy ceiling fan. Then about 20 years ago, Emerson Ceiling Fans invented the Fan Capacitor Speed Control and patented this new technology. This small device meant that there was no need for tapping windings, which meant the need for 30 lbs of copper wiring was no longer necessary. Emerson ceiling fan motors now use about 10 lbs of copper wiring instead of 30 lbs. Emerson ceiling fans began selling these capacitors to other ceiling fan brands. Of course, many of these manufacturers ignored the patent and illegally created the capacitors in their own ceiling fan products. This revolutionary ceiling fan technology put Emerson Fans in the lead.
New Air Design Remote Exceeds the Previous Emerson Ceiling Fan Controls
Twelve years ago, Emerson fans invented the Air Design control system. The Air Design control allows the ceiling fan to utilize six speeds in the forward and reverse directions, separate up light and down light dimming, and use of the remote and multiple wall controls. This technology was the first to combine the wall and remote control operating the ceiling fan at the same time. This was yet another technological advance in the ceiling fan industry by Emerson Fan Company.
