The Sanitaire & Eureka Motor Pulley – Short is a genuine OEM replacement part designed for upright Eureka and Sanitaire vacuums. This 1" tall motor belt pulley is often referred to as the "short" pulley and is essential for proper drive belt alignment and performance.

Installed directly onto the motor shaft, the pulley transfers power to the vacuum’s brushroll via the drive belt. When pulleys wear down or lose shape, it can cause belt slippage or brushroll failure, reducing your vacuum’s cleaning effectiveness. Replacing a worn or damaged pulley restores smooth power delivery and extends the life of your machine.

This short-style motor pulley is compatible with a wide range of Eureka and Sanitaire upright models. It is often used in units that require a lower profile to maintain proper belt tension and brushroll clearance. The OEM part numbers for this component are 40999D-1 and E-40999D.

Ideal for vacuum repair technicians, janitorial services, or at-home maintenance, the Sanitaire & Eureka Motor Pulley – Short is a small but critical part for keeping your vacuum running at full performance. Always check your model and specifications before ordering.
