• Highlight: Ametek 117549 is a 2-stage 7.2" 120V tangential-discharge bypass motor with ball-bearing construction — Ametek's mid-range commercial workhorse in the 7.2" platform.
• Best For: Replacement service across the broad installed base of mid-size commercial wet/dry vacuums, extractors, and central-vac systems originally built around a 7.2" Ametek 2-stage bypass.
• Expert Note: The 2-stage 7.2" Ametek pairs commercial-grade CFM with moderate static lift, which is why it shows up in equipment specced for general dry pickup with occasional wet recovery rather than dedicated extraction.
