Don't forget that 240V mains it the RMS, voltage you need to multiply it by 1.414 to get the DC voltage so its 339V DC you would have to use a transformer to drop the voltage to 155V RMS to get 220V DC.

Yes the Peak voltage will be higher but a resistive/inductive load on an unsmoothed bridge rectifier is only going to see an effective mean of the output curve as far as power available is concerned.

As long as the insulation is good on the windings I doubt it would be a problem, and the motor inertia would soak up the ripples.
