Tangential Discharge Vacuum Motors
Ametek Lamb tangential discharge, open drip-proof vacuum motors are specially designed to move clean and dry air in commercial vacuums, dental evacuators and material handling & transfer systems. The brand's heavy-duty motors feature fan brackets to provide directional vanes to move the air through the fan system more efficiently and air seal bearings to prevent vacuum loss. These energy-efficient vacuum motors come in 2- and 3-stage configurations used to create either more pressure or lift when used as a blower or vacuum, respectively. Single-stage motors typically have the highest air flow and are suitable for a range of appliances including central vacuums, carpet extractors and mould injection motors. Ametek noiseless tangential discharge vacuum motors have an average life of 1500 hrs & brush life up to 1000 running hours and can be mounted in all positions. Raptor Supplies offers a wide variety of Ametek Lamb tangential discharge vacuum motors, available for operation at 24 & 36 VDC and 120 and 240 VAC.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the function of thermoset brackets?
Thermoset brackets are polymers that can be cured by heat or chemical processes to form a rigid, crosslinked structure that resists melting or deformation when exposed to heat. This helps make these materials ideal for applications requiring high strength, rigidity and dimensional stability.
What is the advantage of ball bearings in these Ametek Lamb vacuum motors?
The ball bearings in these motors are located at either end of the motor shaft to help reduce friction and rotate smoothly. They can handle both axial & radial loads and are designed to operate at high speeds without generating excessive heat or wear.
What is the difference between an intermittent motor and a continuous duty motor?
- In an intermittent duty application, the motor operates for a limited period of time and then rests or is turned off for a period of time. The cycle repeats periodically.
- In continuous duty application, the motor is designed to operate continuously without interruption.
