Product Description
Are you noticing that your power carving tool has lost some power or isn't running as smoothly as before? It could be time to check your motor brushes! These small, yet crucial components can wear out over time and should be replaced every few months or when they start to look dull.
Replacing both motor brushes even if one looks more worn than the other will help ensure optimal performance for your tool. All Foredom electric motors have two brushes on each side of the case, opposite to where you would put your shaft end. The copper or brass tubes that house these appliances are encased in plastic with shallow screw caps for retention and access purposes when needed .
When it comes to power carving motors, the brush plays a vital role in maintaining optimal performance. Made of carbon or graphite, the brush provides the lowest possible resistance and friction. This not only enhances the motor's efficiency, but also helps extend its lifespan by preventing wear and tear.
When selecting a brush for your motor, it's important to choose one that is high-quality and specifically designed for your machine's needs. Cheap alternatives may seem like a cost-effective option in the short-term, but they ultimately end up causing more damage and requiring replacement sooner. Investing in a good brush is worth it in the long run - your motor will thank you for it.
Most 2-pole types use one set per motor so there's no need worry about which kind yours is!
