Designed for the VACUFLO 560

The Ametek-Lamb 117549-12 is designed as a replacement motor for the VACUFLO 560 central vacuum system. It is also used in the VACUFLO 960, which features a dual-motor configuration.

The VACUFLO 560 uses one motor, while the VACUFLO 960 uses two motors.

Powerful 2-Stage Bypass Motor

The 117549-12 features a 2-stage motor design and a large 7.2-inch fan to provide strong vacuum performance. Its bypass configuration separates the motor's cooling airflow from the air being pulled through the vacuum system, helping protect the motor from dirt and debris.

Signs Your VACUFLO 560 Motor May Need Replacement

A central vacuum motor can wear down over time. If your VACUFLO 560 is experiencing any of the following symptoms, the motor may need to be replaced:

  • Reduced suction
  • Poor vacuum performance
  • Unusual or excessive motor noise
  • Increased vibration
  • Motor overheating
  • Motor shutting off during operation
  • Motor failing to start
  • Burning or electrical odor
  • Excessive sparking
  • Circuit breaker tripping

Before replacing the motor, check the hose, inlet valves, tubing, filter, and other components for blockages. A restriction in the vacuum system can also cause reduced suction.
