How To Stop a Motor Brush Sparking?

carbon brushes blog

Sparks may indicate that your motor brushes need to be replaced.

Sparking in a tool is common, but it might be an indication that the carbon brush is worn out if it becomes more frequent or severe.

When using your tool, you may check the air vents to see how much the sparking has changed over time and this helps you monitor the sparking.

If the carbon brush cover is loose or the mechanisms are clogged with excessive dirt or pieces, this might prevent the brushes from operating properly.

If your carbon brushes show indications of splitting, crumbling, or burning, it’s best to replace them as soon as possible.

If a rainbow pattern appears on the spring, fractured lead in the spring may be to blame, necessitating a replacement.

You’ll need a new brush if the old one’s crumbled totally.  The armature of a tool can be severely damaged if worn brushes are left in for a lengthy period of time.
