The 117549-12 is a powerful 120V, 2-stage central vacuum motor designed to deliver strong and dependable vacuum performance. Featuring a large 7.2-inch fan, bypass motor design, tangential air discharge, and ball-bearing construction, this motor is built for demanding central vacuum applications.
The motor produces approximately 111 CFM, 125.4 inches of waterlift, and 483 Air Watts, providing the airflow and suction necessary for whole-home central vacuum cleaning.
Designed for the VACUFLO 960
The VACUFLO 960 is a dual-motor central vacuum system and requires two motors for a complete motor replacement.
The Ametek-Lamb 117549-12 provides the power and airflow required by the VACUFLO 960. If only one motor has failed, a single replacement may be sufficient. If both motors are worn or failing, replacing both at the same time can help maintain balanced system performance.
Quantity required for complete replacement: 2 motors.
Powerful 2-Stage Bypass Motor
The 117549-12 features a 2-stage motor design with a large 7.2-inch fan. Its bypass configuration separates the motor's cooling airflow from the dirt-laden air moving through the vacuum system.
This helps protect the motor while providing strong suction for residential central vacuum cleaning.
The tangential air discharge directs exhaust air away from the motor, while ball-bearing construction provides smooth and dependable operation.
