Main function

The Ø18 mm carbon brush caps for Scheppach sliding mitre saws – Ref. 5901222011 are designed to keep the carbon brushes correctly positioned in their motor housings.

They close the brush holder housings and allow the carbon brush spring to maintain constant pressure against the motor commutator, which is essential for proper electrical current transmission.

These caps also protect the carbon brushes and their housings from dust and debris, while providing easy access for inspection or replacement.

Carbon brush caps in good condition are therefore essential to ensure the carbon brushes remain securely in place and the saw motor operates smoothly.

When should the carbon brush caps be replaced?

The Ø18 mm carbon brush caps for Scheppach sliding mitre saws – Ref. 5901222011 should be replaced in the following cases:
