Tangential discharge vacuum AC motors allow air to flow into the bottom of the motor and discharge it through an air tube on the side, making these models suitable for wet pickup applications since debris and moisture will not contact the motor windings. They have high starting torque, operate at high speed, and create vacuum pressure and suction by a rotating motor fan. These motors move clean and dry air in commercial canister or utility vacuums, sprayer/foggers, material handling and transfer systems, car wash, and central vacuum systems. These motors are not designed to pump water.
