Why thwe Direction of Rotation of a TABLE Fan & CEILING Fan
are different?

Answer Posted / vns surianarayanan

In general engineering most of the threads are right handed.
So it is more economical to thread righthanded thread
instead of left handed thread which is slightly costlier.
Coming to the direction of rotation of the ceiling fan, the
stator is fixed on to the hung member from the ceiling, is
generally threaded on to the stator.
During the function of the fan rotation, it is preferable
to have the reactional force experienced by the stator to
be clock wise so that the threaded joint is not loosened
and lead to any untoward accidents.

On the other hand a table fan's stator is not threaded
along the axis of the rotor and hence the direction of
rotation is not a problem.
As people are more used to clock wise rotation, the table
fan is also designed to rotate clock wise.
