Which blades you like better on this Maui Bay? I'm not very much into ceiling fans made of plastic but I would love to find a polished brass Emerson 1895 Series or an Emerson Premium with uplight. Jean, I'm leaning towards the palm leaf (5) as I find it a nicely balanced fan (visually :-)), But, the darker bamboo would look great with a room with darker trim or dark wood furniture Regarding a protective coating over metal finishes. Sometimes it there and sometimes it's not. It does tend to yellow after many years, so when it's placed over chrome or any light-colored metal, it tends to give them a yellowish cast. Over brass, no big deal. It can easily be removed with acetone or a paint stripper. Jim I also prefer a little more the palm blades on this fan but the performance is much better with the bamboo blades. The dark bamboo blades make a nice contrast with the polished brass finish. Ah well if it tends to yellow over the years, it's really not a bad thing when it's on a polished brass/bright brass fan. How can I tell if a brass fan has such a coating?

Ive posted a few pics on fb, bought it back in around 2018 from the manager of the ceiling fan company (chris rines in the fb group) when i visited his workshop after meeting them in the household furniture expo He had it imported back in late 90s or early 2000s when he first came to dubai, before he establishes the ceiling fan company and sell hunters I dont know what actually defines a stack motor, but probably.. it looks a bit different than other motors i have, and the screw mounting area has a rubber layer, something ive never seen before Oh nice so it's an earlier Fanimation Islander with the older style canopy. I have the motor to a polished brass one dated of 2000 but it's missing everything else. Stack motors are usually thicker and slightly narrower than direct drive motors. The external shell of the motor does not revolves with the blades. They have a large amount of stacked (hence the name) copper windings on the sides making them very powerful. In the center the rotor and shaft revolves and at the bottom is usually attached a rubber flywheel like you have on your Fanimation Islander. That rubber flywheel acts as a shock absorber to eliminate noise transmission between the motor and the blades which is why they are particularly quiet motors. The term came from the visible stack of laminations. However, all motors have a stack of laminations. In a spinner motor, it is inside the rotor. In a K55-type motor, it is outside the rotor. For that mater, the rotor is also a stack of laminations.

That defines the motor and its the first and only stack motor fan i have in collection, copper windings are out and the rotor in, kinda reminding me of the pump motors

Here's a cutaway of a XLP-2000 motor in a Casablanca Panama. blog.ceilingfan.com/what-is-an-excellent-motor/
