Product details
Part 202A is Lamb Ametek's 116296 motor, a 220-240 volt replacement for central vacuum power units that originally used it. Motors stamped 6296 or 11-6296 on the housing are the same part, and the published data also carries it under the fuller designation 116296-00.
Airflow is where this one stands out: 110.5 CFM, the highest of the 5.7 inch 220-240 volt Lamb motors in this range, together with 349 air watts and 94.2 inches of sealed suction, from two stages on a very light 4.4 amp draw. Modern Day, SilentMaster and Beam systems used it.
This is a direct swap for the 116296 only. Confirm your system runs on 220-240 volts before ordering, since Lamb built similar-looking motors for 110-120 volt systems that will not work here.

Central vacuum motors tend to wear gradually rather than fail all at once. Expect the early signs first: a breaker that goes more often than it used to, an electrical smell, sparking at the top of the housing, or suction that drops and recovers by itself.
