Tornado Pac-Vac Aircomfort Motor Compartment X1288

The Motor Compartment X1288 is the genuine Tacony OEM moulded housing that carries and isolates the motor assembly on the corded Tornado Pac-Vac Aircomfort backpack vacuums. It is the structural shell the motor, its shrouds and its seals all mount inside, and it is what transfers the weight of the motor pack into the harness frame rather than into the filter housing.

Compatible Models for the Motor Compartment X1288

• Tornado 93012B Pac-Vac 6 Aircomfort — Main Assembly
• Tornado 93014B Pac-Vac 10 Aircomfort — Main Assembly

Confirmed on PartSmart Where Used against both parts books. The 93012B and 93014B share this compartment; the earlier non-B Pac-Vac 6 Aircomfort 93012 uses a different motor compartment (B352-0100) and the two are not interchangeable — check the model number on your machine plate before ordering.

When to replace the Motor Compartment X1288: hairline cracks around the screw bosses are the usual failure, and they let the motor shift under load, which chews through the motor seals and lets unfiltered air bypass the filter stack. A compartment that has been dropped often shows a distorted rim, so the top motor shroud will not seat flat and the machine gets noticeably louder. If screws no longer bite because a boss has stripped out, the compartment is the part to replace — not the screws. Any burn marks or heat distortion near the motor mounting face mean the compartment has been running hot and should be replaced along with whatever caused the overheat.

Replacement is a strip-down job: the top cover, filter housing and motor shrouds come off before the compartment is accessible, so it is worth replacing the motor seals and the bottom motor shroud seal at the same time while the stack is open.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Motor Compartment X1288 do on the Tornado Pac-Vac Aircomfort?

It is the moulded housing that holds the motor, its shrouds and its seals, and carries the motor weight into the harness frame. It also forms part of the sealed air path between the filter stack and the motor.

How do I know if my Motor Compartment X1288 needs replacing?

Look for cracks around the screw bosses, a stripped boss where a screw no longer bites, a distorted rim that stops the top motor shroud seating flat, or heat marks near the motor face. Any of those lets the motor move or lets air bypass the filters.

What models is the Motor Compartment X1288 compatible with?

The Tornado 93012B Pac-Vac 6 Aircomfort and the Tornado 93014B Pac-Vac 10 Aircomfort. The earlier 93012 Pac-Vac 6 Aircomfort uses motor compartment B352-0100 instead, and the two are not interchangeable.
