1980's NEMC 60" Industrial Ceiling Fan

- Here is what's probably the first full video of an NEMC SCF60 ceiling fan on TH-cam!
That sentence is both a plus and a minus. A plus because now you know NEMC made something other than their NO60 model across several iterations & how this other model operates. A minus because I can't benchmark the performance characterisrics of my fan to any other, let alone gather information about how to repair it, and this fan brought me boatloads of stress during the restoration process.
For one, this fan was an insect graveyard. It literally rained dead brown small insects when I took the motor apart, enough that I could fill a small shotglass with the critters. B, the bearings were damn near immovable. The lower bearing needed hammer action to let go of its home, but the upper bearing won't budge AT ALL, even after hours of hammering. I ended up grinding a slot through the upper motor shell & into the inner race of the upper bearing so that I could remove the bearing by individually pulling every single one of the steel balls out. Then I ended up with the inner race stuck on the shaft & outer race stuck on the upper motor shell. I think it took me more grinding & pulling to remove both.
The construction of the motor itself is pretty interesting. That silver band on the motor is actually a plastic ring sandwiched between the lower & upper motor shell, which houses nuts where the blade screws can thread in. At first I thought the motor was some sort of cast metal due to how heavy it is, but it turned out to be really thick sheet steel. The stator isn't any more normal either. It has 2 separate windings like many regular ceiling fans, but both winding sets are placed in a single row, unlike many other ceiling fans that have double row windings. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the 10uf 220V capacitor which has DEMC branding on it, but it sure is strange, and it makes my National F-EY149 speed control hum very loudly on any speed settings other than full.
In terms of performance, it's really a mixed bag. The downrod this fan came with from the factory is unusually short, the motor hasn't got much torque, unlike early iteration NO60's, and the blade pitch is rather shallow for a fan its age. I suppose this fan does a brilliant job spreading the air at lower speeds if the occupant of the room only wants gentle air circulation, but an air cavitation party starts right when you set this fan on high. Let me remind you that everything on this fan that's not plastic is thick gage steel, including the fan blades & downrod, but even so, you can see this fan swinging slightly on full speed in the final clip. That doesn't happen on ceiling fans unless it's featherlight & has ridiculous power like my ArtinAir UT50, or that ceiling fan is in need of a longer downrod. I can definitely feel that the airflow doesn't increase as much as the noise & RPM when I switch this fan from speed 4 to 5.
Even so, this still is a very interesting fan! I think this is far less common than the aforementioned NO60 variant, which makes it a real unicorn...that's cobbled together from DEMC's secret 2nd marriage in Malaysia.

I've always liked industrials with blades with sharp ends. The ones who point up look odd to me.
I do too!
superb fan ! just awesome. blade is the best in class. very broad with a high pitch angle
The blades have many things that need improvement. They’re prone to sag / bend at the area where the 2 short & long reinforcing lines meet, and mine’s doing that too. Blade pitch is also nothing impressive, it’s rather shallow for my standards
How come it has a10uF capacitor? And the windings are at the same distance from the shaft?
I’d like to know the answer too haha
I think the ones in my grandma's house dance hall are also SCF-60s.They also have the DEMC branded 10uf 240V run capacitor, low torque motor, and all 6 original speed controls still remain installed. They behave more normally with the matching control and have the same howling sounds at higher speeds.
BTW did you print reproduction logos and tags?
I believe they are SCFs, I recreated the spec label based on pictures you provided of those fans. Still curious about how well those fans perform. You should make a video of one & every unit running one day
Sekilas baling2nya kayak gmc atau viar
Kipas siling buatan Malaysia jarang di Indonesia
Emang banyak kipas yg ada di malaysia ada modelnya juga di indo kayak contoh panasonic fm15a0 kalo di indonesia fey1511,kdk K15V0 di indo namanya WZ56P
It sounded like a heavy ahh national 560B
That’s about right
@@TheFanUniverse imagine this thing falls on you when you asleep 💀💀
My DEMC 56 inch has the same startup sound as this fan
Nice!
Interesting I wonder in real life it looks way wider and cooler along with the DEMC
And that Howling noise probably from the regulator I guess..
It definitely looks bigger & wider than a 56” DEMC. The howling has nothing to do with the regulator
that motor looks like alot like a 'flat style' TAT UFO motor to me
It’s a Hong Kong based fan, so it’s no surprise that it shares elements with TAT branded fans
Mantap
Yoi
Max speed 300 rpm
Perputaran yg terlihat lambat dan berat😮
Ini memang kipas yg cukup berat
Kipasnya langka ya bang itu buatan Indonesia ya
Malayisa
Kipas ini entah buatan Malaysia, atau kombinasi Malaysia & Hong Kong
