It looks like we will soon see a new ceiling fan motor technology by Casablanca Fan Company. For a long time Casablanca’s higher end ceiling fans used the XLP-2000 motor. The XLP-2000 was invented soon after the first “Stator” Flywheel Stack fan motor was introduced to the ceiling fan market. The XLP-2000 has been slowly perfected over the years to increase torque, silent operation and increasing communication with control technology.
Just a couple of years ago the XTR-200 ceiling fan motor was introduced providing the ceiling fan industry with a new, Energy Star rated, more powerful fan motor than their competing ceiling fan manufactures.
Casablanca Continues to Improve the Ceiling Fan Industry
Casablanca Fan Company is planning to introduce a new motor technology coupled with a new control technology that will set a new standard for ceiling fan motors. The launch of the new XLP-Plus is scheduled for sometime in the late summer of 2007.
This superior motor platform will have the following advanced characteristics:
- Higher torque – Creating more air resistance utilizing 20 degree blade pitch angle
- Higher performance – Generating more air movement of 7,000+ Cubic Feet per Minute
- Able to handle up to 70″+ blade spans without affecting performance
- Increasing Revolutions Per Minute
- Lowering the Maximum Temperature Rise by 7.5%

The only question will be if their new marketing plan will educate consumers of these new hard to explain technologies?
