Zusammenfassung:A fan 1 for an automatic dispensing device, the fan comprising a drive circuit 6, an electromagnet 8 having at least one electromagnetic coil, the electromagnetic coil connected to the drive circuit, a rotor 3 for generating the airflow, and at least four magnets 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d, 14e, 14f, 14g, 14h arranged on a circle 18 on the rotor and spaced apart by the same angle (alpha), wherein the electromagnet is arranged above or under the circle of the rotor and attracts or repels the magnets and the drive circuit switches a current direction in the electromagnetic coil to sequentially attract and repel each magnet as the rotor rotates, where the fan further comprises a magnetic element 16 arranged above or under the rotor such that the magnetic element attracts one of the magnets to its position when the electromagnetic coil is not powered and the rotor is not rotating or gradually coming to a halt, wherein none of the other magnets assumes a position directly under or above the electromagnet when the rotor comes to a halt.
