Pedestal fan AC motors, also known as yoke mount motors, are used as replacement motors in pedestal fans and some wall-mount fans. They have a built-in yoke bracket or yoke strap for mounting the motor to the pedestal. Studs can be used to mount the fan guard directly to the motor's shaft end shield. Motors power pedestal fans that are commonly used to circulate air in factories, greenhouses, schools, storage facilities, warehouses, and other large indoor areas.
