An electric fan includes a fan base (10), a bearing (40) and a rotor
assembly (20). The fan base forms a central tube (11) receiving the
bearing therein. The rotor assembly includes a fan hub (22), and a pivot
axle (23) joined to the fan hub. The pivot axle pivotably extends into
the bearing. The bearing has an outer wall (41) with a plurality of
bulwarks (45) circumferentially formed thereon. At least one partition
hole (424, 43a) corresponding to the bulwarks is defined in the bearing.
The at least one partition hole effectively prevents a radially inward
pressure exerted by the central tube on the bearing from being exerted to
the pivot axle via the bearing. Therefore, a friction between the bearing
and the pivot axle is reduced.
