Ametek Monster Motor Graph


I've posted this many times before, but here is an example of a large, powerful canister motor. Peaking at 675 Airwatts makes you think this nearly 14 Amp baby has massive airflow, right? But you would only achieve that if you hooked up a 2" diameter hose! Using the typical 1.125" hose, the airflow plummets to 106 CFM. Hook up a power nozzle with its wands, u-joint, and seals and the result will most likely be in the mid 80's. Oh, it'll FEEL like it can "suck the paint off the walls", but deep cleaning will suffer dramatically.


BTW, all motor graphs are not like this one, they vary in shape dramatically.
