Can I mount this motor with the drive shaft pointing down?

You will general be fine mounting in any direction but like any situation like this... you need to consider the load you are driving. If you a suspending the load, or supporting the load, on the motor shaft... then, in general, you will eventually run into problems... motor bearings will give out. If the load you are driving is independently supported then you will be fine.

yes you can i got a motor like the one above it will work fine with any position horizone vertical side way or up side down try it out i guess it alway work nomatter what way you want to put it ... that correct ..

Not without removing the motor from the unit. However, the motor itself is 2 1/8" without the shaft. If I were a guessing man, I'd say with the shaft it would be pretty close to 2 1/2" !

Thank you for the inquiry, you can cut the down rod shorter provided you orient the motors downward like the picture. This model allows you to move the motors up to 90-degrees. Thank you, Mike H. Dan's Fan City

You should be able to lower your axel and also turn the top mount though it may be a bit tight.

Possibly, but I think you would have to add base plate to give a reference surface upon which to slide. I would also only use small bits as the motor does not have much torque.

Although my motor is mounted horizontally I can see no reason why it can't be mounted vertically.

Interesting question. So I tried it & I was able to mount it backwards. Yes you can.

Yes, possibly. You might have to trim the long shaft to make it work. That is what I did.

Not really - the motor is geared the wrong way to do this. It's hard to tell from the picture, but the darker section from which the motor's shaft protrudes is actually a cylindrical gear box, and it is geared to give mechanical advantage to the motor behind it. You would have to spin the shaft with so much force that the power you got out of it would probably not be worth it. What you want is setup where that gear arrangement was reversed. Then a very little input would result in a productive output.

No. this is about 1/3 smaller than the old motor. Modification of the mount was required to make it work for mine.

Yes, mechanically, you will have to remove 2 screws and reverse the direction of the shaft. Dan CSH

I'm going to say no. The reason I say that is the design has not mounting brackets from the motor base just stem for the wiring to run threw. That is the best of my knowledge on that.

this should do the trick: SHIFTER MOUNT OR8 DOWNTUBE ADPTR 31.8/28.6 BKand there is a number of more classically styled one, just search for "downtube shifter clamp on bosses"

If you are a machinist (like I was) maybe you are able to switch the drive side to the left, But is a big job , because the drive gear and the worm gear have a spline on the shaft, and the brackets are offset. Maybe you should check with the manufacturer to see if they make a left handed awning.

I am 90% sure you can. The motor is connected to a half circular hanging bracket which allows it to level out when hung on an angle. The fan I hung this weekend is mounted by a square and is definitely able to be hung on an angle.

Yes. Although not sure if you can flush mount it. I would just go to home depot or lowes and get a shorter down-rod. The rods come in white and various sizes. Great fan by the way.

Mounting at angles (depending on how much angle your talking about) may not be the best method. It would be advisable to contact the Mfg. before proceeding with an angle mount.
