Ametek P/N CPM‑173 240 VDC Motor ONLY (Requires Rectifier – NOT 240V AC) – for Pumptec 400 psi Pump Head (NOT for Ashbys Ninja or Enforcer)
The Ametek CPM‑173 is a genuine, permanent‑magnet 240 VDC drive motor designed specifically for powering the Pumptec 400 psi pump head. This listing is for the motor ONLY and does not include the required rectifier or mounting base.
Critical Electrical Warning – 240 VDC Only (NOT 240V AC)
This motor is rated 240 VDC and must be supplied with DC power from a suitable rectifier. It is not a 240V AC mains motor.
Do NOT connect this motor directly to 240V AC. Doing so will immediately damage the motor (it will overheat, smoke and fail) and is unsafe. A rectifier is essential to convert 240V AC to the correct 240 VDC supply.
Rectifier Required – Motor Cannot Operate Without One
This product is supplied as the motor only. A rectifier is mandatory for correct operation. Without a rectifier, the motor cannot run and will be permanently damaged if connected to AC mains.
What This Motor Is Used For
The Ametek CPM‑173 is a versatile PMDC motor commonly used to drive Pumptec 400 psi pump heads in:
- Portable and static high‑pressure pump systems
- Industrial and commercial sprayers
- Agricultural spraying equipment
- Misting and cooling systems
- Chemical injection and dosing systems
- Pressure‑testing rigs
- General Pumptec‑based pumping applications
Ametek CPM‑series motors are also widely used in non‑pump applications such as mobility equipment, salt spreaders, treadmills and industrial machinery, making the CPM‑173 a proven, reliable drive motor for demanding environments.
