Patent abstract
A cooling fan includes a fan housing (10) having a central tube (11) extending upwardly therefrom, a bearing (20) received in the central tube, a stator (40) mounted around the central tube, a rotor (30) having a shaft (37) extending into the bearing, and a magnetic ring (38) being fixedly mounted to the rotor to rotate with the rotor during operation of the cooling fan. The bearing is made of iron-copper alloy. The magnetic ring is made of hard magnetic material and exerts a magnetic attraction on the bearing, whereby the rotor is pulled downwardly by a magnetic attraction of the bearing on the magnetic ring to lessen the floating problem of the rotor during operation of the cooling fan.
