Zusammenfassung:A cooling fan includes a fan housing (50) having a central tube (52), a bearing structure received in the central tube, a stator (60) mounted around the central tube, and a fan blade set (70). The bearing structure includes a shaft (30) being rotatably received in the central tube and connecting to the fan blade set. An inner bearing (20) is fixedly mounted around the shaft to rotate with the shaft. Upper and lower outer bearings (10) are fixedly mounted into the central tube and are mounted around two opposite ends of the inner bearing, respectively. The inner and outer bearings are made of magnetic materials. The inner bearing floats between the outer bearings whereby rotation of the shaft does not cause the inner and outer bearings to wear.
