VACUUM MOTORS - The Best Deal I Have Found On Blowers

[Brad]

This is my first oral opening since joining yesterday. I hope you find it a good on.
I found a fantastic deal on vacuum motors. They are new motors from Ametek and GS Electric. One style is 230V and the other two are 110V.
The ranges are:
CFM: 108-127 and Vacuum: 62" - 91"
Just search "vacuum motor" on the site's search engine

Anyone know the exact model and/or part number
of electric vacuum motor used by SuperFlow inside the SF-600
??

i had it wrote down many years ago, but can't find that paper anymore

Ametek sounds familiar

I just bought the blower for mine. Hopefully get this project underway real soon and send Bruce some pics.

I got mine at
I bought the Ametek 115923 (Grainger 4M903). $60 at Hesco and the same at Grainger was $87.

Now, if I can just figure out how to mount this thing!

To fchp. If you register (it's free) we can talk. There are a lot of really sharp guys on this board. You will get a lot of good ideas on how to mount that thing...lots of flow bench designs and other information.

I realize there is sharp people on this board. I've posted about 20 questions in the last 2-3 weeks and got answers on ALL of them. I thought I was "auto" logged in, but somehow it posted without it.... SORRY!

Now, someone tell me how to mount this thing! :laugh:

On a similar subject, I see that people are using motors from vacuum cleaners (several for each bench obviously) and was wondering what power rating each motor was. I'm looking to get a flowbench together (ideally at 28" H20) and am starting with this side of things- looking at around 1400Watts each. Any suggestions?

Cheers

Just a point of info for those using the Ametek vacuum motor mentioned above: I measured the running amperage with my meter on one of these in my bench and it is around 8 amps. When first starting I could see the meter flash anywhere from 12-16 amps for a fraction of a second.
