Ametek Lamb 119656-00 Peripheral Bypass Vacuum Motor
The Ametek Lamb 119656-00 is a two-stage replacement vacuum motor for compatible commercial cleaning equipment, ducted vacuum systems and industrial vacuum installations. Its peripheral bypass configuration and approximately 145mm fan housing diameter are key details when identifying the correct replacement.
Match the Motor Before Ordering
Start with the complete number printed on your existing motor label. The reference 119656-00 may also appear without the hyphen as 11965600.
Compare the electrical requirements, fan stages, discharge design and physical dimensions. Check how the motor mounts inside the machine, where its seals sit and how its electrical connections are arranged. Motors with similar dimensions can still have different operating characteristics or fitting requirements.
Understanding the Bypass Design
A peripheral bypass motor separates the working-air path from the air used to cool the motor. The working air discharges around the fan housing.
This arrangement is different from a thru-flow motor and from a tangential bypass motor with a separate discharge outlet. Choose the configuration required by your equipment rather than treating these designs as interchangeable.
Correct filtration, seals and unobstructed airflow remain necessary. A bypass motor is not waterproof and should only be installed in equipment with the appropriate protection for its intended use.
Replacement and Servicing
Before fitting a new motor, have the original failure diagnosed. Blocked filters, restricted cooling passages, damaged seals or electrical faults may also need attention.
The listed dimensions are approximately 172mm overall height, 69mm base height and 145mm fan housing diameter. Use these measurements alongside the product photos, motor label and linked technical information to check suitability.
