Does this fan have a sealed motor to keep out dust?

No. It has a flow through design, and I usually run it spring to fall, and clean it out before I store it (so once a year); and that seams to do the trick. This is my third year running them.

there are some small openings in the back of motor to let in some air to help keep the motor cool i have it this fan for like 2 years and i only dust it off like 1 year usually just before summer months

There is the hum of the motor...but not very loud. There are no blades to clean inside....you just need to wipe the base of the fan (where the filter is so the air intake is good) and the round part of the fan I dust off as needed. Very easy.

Not to my knowledge..it is installed in my living room...there are specific fans that state indoor/outdoor usage..their motors are self-contained from the elements.

It has been some time since I replaced mine. But as I recall the fan squirrel cage came off first and revealed the nuts which held the motor to the mount. The fan had one nut or a compression clip holding it on to the motor shaft and was a slip fit onto the motor shaft. The fan slid off of the shaft with a firm pulling. My motor seemed to have failed because dust had accumulated on the fan cage and caused the motor to spin out of balance. I intend to clean it at least once a year now. Good luck.

No, the one that I have does not. It uses high-voltage to create an ionic wind, and the plates attract dust as it passed through.

NO. But water assists in cooling and lubricating. It also keeps dust to a minimum.

Yes. There is a sealed bearing in the inner hub. Whether it is ball bearings or roller bearings I cannot tell, since it is sealed. But it is just like the original equipment.

Yes they do. They are fully sealed and wsterproof or in this case dust proof .

Yes it is sealed. It's a very nice fixture. Does not wobble. Good lighting and good fan speed

It acts as a dust filter for the motor. I take it out periodically and shake out the accumulated dust.

I used mine for a farm product that is both wet and dirty/dusty. It is a TEFC rated motor - totally enclosed fan cooled. So far so good for me

No. Absolutely silent. There is a function you can activate the fan with to purge the dust, but only when you want it to run the function

no these are not sealed motors,the moisture in a crawl space would damage these units

Not that I'm aware of. I ordered it and watched to YouTube video as I done it. I'm not very electronic savy either and it was easy. I do recommend that you use a vacuum or something to get the dust out cause there's a lot of it.

I don't believe so. I think it's an extension of the rotating motor, so when its on the fan is on.

From the Noctua FAQ:In order to ensure flawless operation over many years of usage, all Noctua fans come with a premium grade SSO bearing, which is fully sealed to prevent the entering of fine dust particles. Please note that the fan is not designed to be taken apart by the user. Removing the impeller from the frame will break the sealing of the bearing and results in a loss of warranty.

Does the motor appear to be sealed? I think people are making up stuff to "ask."
