MacroAir showcases gearless fan line

Since its 2014 summer launch, the AirVolution-D fan line by MacroAir (Booth 3544) is the only gearless, High Volume Low Speed (HVLS) fan available on the market today that has the power to move a 24-foot HVLS fan. The demand for the AirVolution-D has exceeded preliminary projections, and MacroAir is anticipated to be the exclusive manufacturer of gearless motor technology well into 2016.

“In 2011, we set out to design the quietest, lightest, most reliable fan on the market,” said Eddie Boyd, president & CEO of MacroAir. “That led to the invention of our cutting edge, gearless motor. In fact, we’ve entirely cut out the fan’s gearbox. In doing so, we’ve also gotten rid of the mess, mass and maintenance costs associated with gear-driven fan motors.”

Unlike a traditional DC motor, the gearless motor coil is made up of a simple copper ring with ultra-low resistance, delivering a 40%improvement in efficiency allowing the fan to generate 50% more air movement than conventional gearbox motor designs.
