Depending on the specs, maybe, most likely yes, it should have a number of ratings on the motors plate, like if it's made for intermittent use or continues use, a 24v motor that is made for continues use should be ok running for short amounts of time at a higher voltage, but if it's a light duty, low amp motor and you put it under a high load and run it at higher voltage then you will burn it up pretty quickly.
