Spring-Loaded Motor Brushes 5x5x10 mm – 25 mm Carbon Brushes, Pair

Is your sander, drill, or small electric motor running intermittently, losing power, sparking, or refusing to start? In the vast majority of cases, the motor brushes are worn. These spring-loaded carbon brushes are sold in pairs, exactly as they are replaced, and can get a tool back in service for just a few euros instead of buying a new one.

Precise dimensions — check before ordering

This is a generic carbon brush, without a brand or manufacturer's part number. We therefore do not publish a list of compatible models: on a brush holder, two pieces of the same cross-section may be incompatible if the spring, overall length, or connection type differs. Measurements are always better than promises.

• Graphite block: 10 x 5 x 5 mm
• Spring: approximately 15 mm
• Overall length: approximately 25 mm
• Connection: flexible copper braid + round brass crimp sleeve

Remove an original carbon brush from your device and compare these four points with the dimensioned photo. If all four match, the part is suitable. If your original carbon brush is a simple graphite block without a spring or braid, or if it has a flat tab crimp sleeve, this is not the one.

Choose your quantity

• 1 pair – 2 carbon brushes: enough to repair one tool
• 2 pairs – 4 carbon brushes: discounted rate
• 3 pairs – 6 carbon brushes: discounted rate
• 4 pairs – 8 carbon brushes: discounted rate
• 5 pairs – 10 carbon brushes: best price per pair

The more pairs you buy, the lower the price per pair. Ideal if you maintain several tools or want to have spares ready for the next time they wear out.

Applications

Small commutator motors: sanders, drills, grinders, vacuum cleaners, power tools, and household appliance motors, provided that the four dimensions above match.

Contents

Depending on the quantity chosen: 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 5x5x10 mm spring-loaded carbon brushes.

Maintenance

Check the carbon brushes every 50 to 100 hours of use. A carbon brush worn down to less than a third of its original length must be replaced. Take advantage of the disassembly to blow out the commutator with dry air and remove graphite residue.

Precautions

Always disconnect the tool before working on it. Always replace both carbon brushes together, never just one: carbon brushes with different wear levels cause imbalance and premature commutator wear. This is why they are sold in pairs.

Please note

Generic adaptable part, supplied without retail packaging, packed in a protective bag. Unsure about compatibility? Contact us with the dimensions of your original carbon brush before ordering; we would rather answer a question than receive a return.
