Product Description

The Lamb Electric 240 Volt Central Vacuum Motor features peripheral discharge bypass technology with an 8.4" diameter aluminum body construction. This single-stage, tapered fan system motor delivers high-efficiency operation with improved sound quality and moisture protection. Peripheral bypass motors discharge air through small louvres around the cylinder side rather than through a horn, making them ideal for specific mounting and ducting configurations. The bypass design prevents work air from traveling across the motor, making it excellent for wet pickup applications.

Built with aluminum body construction and high-efficiency laminated fans for increased durability and moisture protection. Features a tapered fan system engineered for reduced operational noise. Professional-grade construction includes double ball bearings, self-cleaning fan system, and aluminum fan end bracket with aluminum commutator bracket.

Compatible with major central vacuum brands including BEAM (models 287, 287C, 287S, 287SP, 310, 387, 387A, 875, 875B, 2875, 2875A), Nutone (CV550, CV400, CV450, CV750), VacuMaid (P118, P120, P128, PX120), Eureka, Hayden, AirVac, Power Star, and WalVac systems. Also fits Dirt Devil 3400, Vacuflo FC1550, and other compatible models.

Use Case

This 240-volt peripheral discharge bypass motor is designed for central vacuum system owners who need a powerful, long-lasting replacement motor for their existing system. The bypass design makes it particularly suitable for wet pickup applications and carpet extraction systems where work air cannot travel across the motor windings. With its tapered fan system and improved sound quality, this motor provides quieter operation while maintaining professional-grade suction performance. Ideal for residential and light commercial applications requiring 240-volt power supply and peripheral discharge configuration.
