Do ceiling fan motors from the same manufacturer and same time change based on the blade length?
Do ceiling fan motors from the same manufacturer and same time change based on the blade length?
Currently installed is a recent (about 10 years) Harbor Bay 5 blade ceiling fan with 44" blade diameter.
In a box I have a recent (about 10 years) Harbor Bay 5 blade ceiling fan with 52" blade diameter.
Yes, the large blades will run the motor harder.
Would these two fans likely use the same motor, so that I can just swap the larger blades and leave the current motor? Or is there a high chance the motors are sized specific to their blades, and I would need to fully swap the motor to use the larger blades?
The blades appear to use the same connection.
I think you should just give the longer blades a try.
Motor is same. Mounting hole spacing is different.
Thanks.
Darn. I just eyeballed the difference. I'll try actually screwing in just 1, but I'll go in expecting the difference.
Id swap the blades, it'll probably be fine
