By replacing your old brushes, you can restore your power tool’s performance, extend its lifespan, and prevent potential damage to the motor. Whether you’re working on a DIY project or professional tasks, having a fresh set of power tool brushes on hand is crucial for uninterrupted work and optimal results.

Key Benefits

Investing in quality replacement carbon motor brushes offers several advantages for your power tools. These benefits contribute to both the performance and longevity of your equipment, making them a smart choice for maintenance and repair.

• Enhanced Performance: New carbon brushes ensure consistent electrical contact, leading to smoother motor operation and restored power output for your tools. This means your tools will work as efficiently as they did when they were new.
• Extended Tool Lifespan: Replacing worn brushes prevents excessive wear on the motor’s commutator, significantly prolonging the overall life of your valuable power tools. Proactive maintenance with a fresh motor brush replacement can save you from costly repairs or premature tool replacement.
• Cost-Effective Repair: Instead of purchasing an entirely new power tool, replacing just the carbon brushes is a much more economical solution for common motor performance issues. This makes maintaining your tools both practical and budget-friendly.
• Reduced Sparking: Worn brushes often lead to increased sparking, which can damage the motor and create a safety hazard. Fresh brushes help minimize sparking, promoting safer and more stable operation.
• Easy Installation: Designed for straightforward replacement, these 13x9x6mm carbon brush units can typically be installed with minimal tools and effort, allowing you to get back to work quickly.
• Compatibility: These brushes are compatible with many power tools that require this specific size, making them a versatile option for various applications.
• Reliable Current Transfer: Optimal current transfer is crucial for motor efficiency, and these brushes are engineered to provide just that, ensuring your power tools operate at their peak.

Product Specifications & Details

This product includes one pair of carbon motor brushes, each precisely sized at 13mm x 9mm x 6mm. These dimensions are critical for ensuring proper fit and function within compatible power tool motors. The brushes are made from a durable carbon material, chosen for its excellent electrical conductivity and wear resistance, which are vital for components constantly in contact with a rotating commutator. Each brush is designed to be a direct replacement for original parts, facilitating an easy and quick installation process. The lightweight nature of these components (Net Weight: 0.017, likely per pair or per brush depending on context) ensures they do not add unnecessary bulk to your tools. This motor brush replacement offers a practical solution for maintaining the efficiency and extending the life of your electric hand tools and other motor-driven equipment.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

Proper installation and periodic maintenance of your power tool brushes are key to maximizing their lifespan and ensuring optimal tool performance. Before beginning, always ensure your power tool is unplugged from its power source to prevent electrical shock. Locate the brush caps, typically found on the sides of the motor housing. Use a screwdriver to carefully remove these caps and extract the old brushes. Note the orientation of the old brushes to ensure the new 13x9x6mm carbon brush pair is inserted correctly. Gently slide the new brushes into their compartments, ensuring they make proper contact with the commutator. Replace the brush caps securely. It’s recommended to replace both brushes at the same time, even if only one appears worn, to ensure balanced wear and consistent motor performance. Regularly inspect your carbon brushes for signs of wear, such as excessive sparking, reduced power, or intermittent operation. Replacing them before they are completely worn down can prevent more significant damage to your motor’s commutator. This proactive approach to maintenance with quality electric motor brushes ensures your tools remain reliable for a longer period.
