31. Old structure
Label not able to
seal the oil spilling
Sleeve bearing not able to
seal by old structure to
prevent the evaporation of
lubricating oil effectively

32. New design
Advantage: dust proof and anti-lubrication spilled
reduce the gap between
the blade and stator
stand for preventing
the dust entering and
lubricant leaking
effectively.
Uses the entire sealed bearings
structure to prevent the
evaporation of lubricating oil
effectively
