SEBO Felix Motors old and new

[blakaeg]

Repaired a SEBO Felix machine today and just thought I'd take a picture of the motors.

The one on the left is an Ametek made motor which was in the machines up until 2011, the one on the right is a B/S/H made motor, has more 'fins' in the motor housing and is still the current motor they use today.

I really like the Felix machines due to being very versatile in use.

My Felix must have the Ametek motor installed as it's over 6 years old now.

Hi Madaboutsebo,

When you remove the Motor filter under the bag, you should be able to see the Ametek stamp by looking down into the grill. A torch will help

Hi blakaeg

Thanks for the tip will take a look to see if I can see the Ametek stamp, I've got to change the bag as it's about full so will take a look and let you know.

Wonder what motors SEBO will use if they are working on Eco models/versions!?

As I have just taken the very full bag out of my SEBO Felix I checked the motor type after removing the pre motor filter and it is an Ametek motor one of the earlier ones as you mentioned above blakaeg. On my Felix Classic I have the GHI Approved 2005 sticker on the main power head!

Think I need a new pre motor filter too!
