The 117470 is a heavy-duty3-stage, 120-volt central vacuum motor with a large 7.2-inch fan and a 1,400-watt motor rating. Its bypass design separates the motor's cooling airflow from the dirt-laden vacuum airflow, helping protect the motor during operation.

The VACUFLO 860 is a dual-motor power unit, so you need two motors when replacing both original motors. The Ametek-Lamb 117470 is also used in compatible VACUFLO 360 applications.

Powerful 3-Stage Motor Design

The Ametek-Lamb 117470 features a 3-stage motor and 7.2-inch fan designed to provide strong vacuum performance for demanding central vacuum applications.

Its bypass configuration keeps cooling air separate from the air being pulled through the vacuum system. The motor also features tangential air discharge and ball-bearing construction for dependable operation.

VACUFLO 860 Motor Replacement

A worn motor can significantly reduce your central vacuum system's performance. If your VACUFLO 860 is experiencing weak suction, excessive noise, overheating, or intermittent operation, the motor may need to be replaced.

Common signs of a failing motor include:

  • Reduced suction
  • Weak cleaning performance
  • Excessive motor noise
  • Motor vibration
  • 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, filters, and other components for blockages or restrictions.

Two Motors Required for VACUFLO 860

The VACUFLO 860 is designed with two motors.

If both motors require replacement:

Quantity Required: 2 × Ametek-Lamb 117470

If only one motor has failed, a single replacement motor may be sufficient. However, if both motors are the same age, replacing both at the same time can help maintain consistent performance.
