The Foredom® MP119P Motor Brush Pair is the ideal replacement for Foredom® CC, DD, and MM motors (115V/110V only), designed to maintain optimal performance for your tools. These high-quality carbon motor brushes are specifically engineered to restore motor efficiency and functionality, ensuring smooth and reliable operation. Whether you're working in a professional jewelry workshop or for personal projects, these brushes are an essential part of your motor maintenance routine.
Motor brushes should be checked regularly for wear. The Foredom® MP119P brushes, when new, are approximately 3/4" long, and it is crucial to replace them once they have worn down to 1/4" in length. It's important to replace both motor brushes at the same time, even if one shows less wear than the other, as this ensures even wear and consistent performance.
These motor brushes are for use in Foredom® CC, DD, and MM motors, which are 2-pole electric motors. Each motor has one set of brushes, installed opposite the motor shaft, within brush holders made of copper or brass encased in plastic. The brushes are designed with a flexible copper pigtail imbedded in the graphite, ensuring minimal resistance, low friction, and long-lasting durability.
The brush holder's shallow screw cap retains and provides access to the brushes, allowing for easy replacement. As the brushes wear, the spring inside the holder maintains the proper pressure on the commutator to ensure consistent electrical contact, while the pigtail terminal connects to the metal tube to provide a current path.
By regularly replacing these brushes, you prevent motor damage and maintain the smooth operation of your Foredom® motors. Ensure the longevity of your tools and the precision of your work with the Foredom® MP119P Motor Brush Pair, an easy-to-install, cost-effective solution for motor maintenance.
