Carbon Brush Replacement - 100.066 - Carbon Brush 120V
Here at Heat Gun, we are proud to be suppliers of the highest-quality heat guns, Leister heat gun parts, blowers, and replacement parts for many tools, including carbon brushes. In power tools, such as a hot air gun, the carbon brush works by transferring electrical current from the power source to the armature, which rotates to drive the fan that produces hot air. The carbon brush is housed in a protective holder and is typically made of a combination of graphite and other conductive materials.
The carbon brush is an essential component that helps to ensure the smooth and efficient operation of the motor. The slip ring, known as the carbon brush rotary electrical joints, offers a reliable connection between the power source and the motor, which is critical for the effective and consistent performance of the power tool.
One crucial element to know is that even high-quality parts, like the Leister carbon brushes, are designed to wear over time. Although you may question why this is a benefit, the advantage of it doing so is that it prevents damage to the motor. As the brush wears down, it can be easily replaced, ensuring that the motor remains in good condition and continues to perform at optimal levels for much longer. This is why carbon brush replacement is a critical aspect of maintaining the functionality of electrically hot jet welding power equipment.
Replace your Carbon Motor Brushes for your Welding Tool
Carbon brushes transfer the electrical current from the stationary part of the tool to the rotating part, allowing for the tool's functionality. Over time, carbon brushes can wear out due to the constant friction and heat generated during operation. When this happens, the brushes need to be replaced to prevent damage to the tool and maintain its performance. It is important to note that carbon brushes are not interchangeable between different brands or models of power tools, so it is essential to choose the right replacement part for the specific tool. The model featured on this page is primarily designed for use with the Hot Jet S heat gun.
Before replacing the brushes, make sure to disconnect the power source from the welding tool to avoid any electrical accidents. You should also remove any accessories or attachments that may obstruct access to the brushes. Next, locate the carbon brushes, which are typically found at the bottom of the tool, near the motor. They may be connected to a slip ring. You may need to refer to your welding tool's manual for specific instructions on locating and removing the brushes.
To remove the old brushes, gently pull them out of their holders using pliers or a similar tool. Be careful not to damage the holders or the wires connected to the brushes. Once the old brushes are removed, inspect them for signs of wear, such as a worn-out surface, a broken or damaged spring, or a short length. If the brushes show any of these signs, they need to be replaced.
To install the new brushes, carefully insert them into the brush holders, making sure that they are snug and secure. Be sure to align the brushes with the direction of rotation of the motor. Once the new brushes are installed, reattach any accessories or attachments that were removed earlier. Finally, reconnect the power source and test the welding tool to ensure that it is running smoothly and producing the desired results.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often do carbon brushes need replacing?
The frequency at which carbon brushes need to be replaced in a heat gun can vary depending on several factors, including the frequency of use, the load on the motor, and the quality of the brushes themselves. Generally, carbon brushes are designed to wear down over time and will need to be replaced when they reach a certain point of wear. Most manufacturers of heat guns recommend that carbon brushes be replaced after every 50 to 100 hours of use.
What happens when carbon motor brushes wear out?
One of the most common issues that occurs when carbon motor brushes wear out is a decrease in the power and efficiency of the motor. The brushes play a critical role in transferring electrical current from the power source to the motor's armature, and when they wear down, the connection can become less efficient, which can lead to a decrease in power output.
