Which Replacement Vac Motor

[Bryce C]

I'm having a hard time finding an exact replacement vac motor for this one. It is out of a Pegasus 500H by US Products. There aren't any matching model numbers available online. And I want to see if there are comparable or better aftermarket vac motors I can source as a replacement.

It is a 5.7" 3 stage vac motor. Not sure about the amperage though. I doubt it can be 10 amps despite the "104a" on the sticker, otherwise 2 of those combined with a water pump would be tripping circuits all the time..

you probably need to contact US Products for the proper replacement. The part number belongs to them, not to Ametek.

US Products has always been pricey and proprietary parts.. The circuit panel they have in their machines make me feel defeated..

I'm sure someone knows of a replacement/comparable equivalent motor.. Does your machine have 2 cords?

So a further deep dive into this.. This one seems like a replacement based on my limited FCC skills.

Based upon the MPN aka Manufacturer Part Number: 56113145 taken from the https://shop.usaclean.com/120V-3-stage-vacuum-motor-272-5677/?searchid=13127442&search_query=vacuum

Then searched based upon the google results lead me to that unit.. The cheaper listed price of the average $229 price..

Hope that helped.. I take no responsibility if it doesn't fit..... I just find it hard to believe it's only 6.5Amps.. Advance is owned by Nilfisk..

Interesting that's good to know. Yes it does have 2 cords. 1600 to 1700 watt heater on 1 circuit and the 2 vac motors and pump smooshed onto the other circuit.

Excellent thank you! When I have time later I'll try to reverse engineer your search process to learn it myself. It looks like the right one. I just don't understand how there is enough amps left for the 500 psi pump if there are 2x 6.5 amp vac motors on the same circuit, I run it on 15 amp circuits all the time and it doesn't trip. This machine has noticeably weaker vacuum than my PEX 500 though.

Oh ok good call, thanks Ron!
