Ridgid 30438 Brush and Brush Holder with Brush Spring

Product Description

The RIDGID 30438 is a replacement brush and brush holder assembly that includes the brush spring. Carbon motor brushes transfer electrical current to the rotating armature in universal and series-wound electric motors commonly found in power tools and motor-driven trade equipment. When brushes wear down, motor performance degrades - the 30438 provides the complete brush, holder, and spring as a matched set so the repair is done right the first time. This is a service part intended for use by qualified technicians performing motor maintenance or repair.

This assembly is suited to applications where the original motor brush has worn beyond its service limit or where arcing, reduced power output, or motor cutout has been traced to brush wear. It is typically installed during motor overhaul or preventive maintenance on RIDGID power equipment. The brush spring is included, eliminating the need to source that component separately.

Installation Notes

Brush and brush holder replacement should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with electric motor service. Disconnect and lock out all power sources before opening any motor housing. Inspect the commutator surface for scoring or wear before installing new brushes, and allow new brushes to seat properly before returning the tool to full-load operation. Follow applicable NFPA 70 (NEC) guidelines when working on electrically powered equipment.
