Abstract
A ceiling fan motor includes a motor housing having an end wall and a side wall; a stator assembly mounted within the housing; a rotor assembly mounted within the housing to rotate relative to the stator assembly; and a fan blade hub adapted to have fan blades mounted thereto. The fan blade hub includes a central opening and the rotor assembly includes a driving member shaped complementarily to the opening of the fan blade hub. The driving member positively engages the fan blade hub (and hence the fan blades) as the rotor rotates. A grommet is positioned between the fan blade hub and the driving member to vibrationally isolate the fan blade hub from the rotor.
