Also, are PanaFlo 120mm BB or sleeve beaings? The site says "Hydro-Wave".

And that's just what it is... The 'Hydro Wave Bearing' is a unique Panaflo feature that reduces noise and increases life.
From the Panaflo Site: Panaflo Fan Specs (http://www.panasonic.com/industrial/appliance/appliance_fans_panaflo_axial.htm)
The hydrowave bearing (HWB) addresses the traditional weakness of sleeve bearings…axial friction. By utilizing our unique HWB system, the thrust plate “floats” on a circulating film of oil, which greatly reduces the axial friction and the bearing’s deterioration. The HWB pattern on the bearing virtually eliminates
thrust plate contact.
As the shaft rotates it acts as a pump constantly circulating the oil in the radial, as well as the axial direction.
The sealed system and reservoirs of oil maintain the proper lubrication to minimize mechanical contact and
prolong the fan’s life expectancy.
