Set of two carbon brushes for electric motor 5x13x20mm (SKU: G00497)
Are you looking for a reliable, efficient and affordable way to restore the original power of your power tool or household appliance? The set of two carbon brushes for electric motors, dimensions 5x13x20mm (product code: G00497) is a top choice for anyone who needs high-quality and durable spare parts for the smooth operation of their devices. These professional graphite brushes are designed with an extremely long service life, minimal friction and optimal electrical conductivity in mind, ensuring stable motor operation without unnecessary interruptions and expensive services.
Carbon brushes (often called carbon contacts or motor brushes) are a key consumable in any brushed electric motor. Since they naturally wear out during operation due to constant contact and friction, their regular replacement is essential to maintain the functionality of the device. By choosing this high-quality set, you will effectively prevent damage to more sensitive and expensive parts of the motor, such as the commutator, and avoid the unnecessary purchase of new tools.

Main advantages and benefits of using the G00497 brush set
The quality of the material is crucial for the safety and efficiency of electric brushes. Poor quality brushes can wear out too quickly, crumble or cause excessive sparking, which seriously threatens the life of your machine. Our set offers the perfect ratio between hardness and conductivity, ensuring soft sliding on the commutator and constant electrical conductivity.
Key technical features and benefits:

High-quality graphite composition: They are made of premium, high-tech processed carbon (carbon - graphite), which provides excellent electrical conductivity and minimal mechanical friction.
Protection and extension of the commutator's lifespan: A specially adapted material composition ensures that the brushes do not cause excessive wear or scratches on the commutator, which drastically extends the lifespan of the entire electric motor.
Precise dimensions for easy installation: Standard size of 5 mm x 13 mm x 20 mm allows for quick, easy installation and a perfect fit into compatible brush holders.
Set of two pieces (pair): You receive 2 pieces in the package, which is enough for a complete and immediate replacement on one electric motor.
Versatile Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of different types of power hand tools, industrial machines and household appliances that use this specific brush profile.


How to recognize when it is time to change the carbon brushes?
Electric motors usually let us know clearly through their operation when the brushes are worn out and need to be replaced. If you notice any of the following signs, it's time for a quick and easy replacement with the G00497 set:

Strong sparking in the motor: Noticeable uneven or strong sparking that you can see through the ventilation slots of your tool's housing.
Sudden power drops: The tool loses speed, operates intermittently or shuts down intermittently while working under load.
The device suddenly stops: The engine no longer starts at all, even though the device is properly connected to the mains or a charged battery.
Unusual gunky smell: An overheating or gunky smell due to poor electrical contact between a badly worn brush and the commutator.

Timely replacement of carbon brushes only costs a few euros, but it can save your favorite tool from irreparable stator or rotor failure, which would mean significantly higher repair costs.

Technical data and specifications
Always measure your existing brushes carefully before purchasing. Even if they are badly worn or broken, you can easily estimate their width and thickness by measuring them directly from the dimensions of the metal brush housing (guide).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about the product
How do I know if these 5x13x20mm brushes fit my power tool?
The most reliable and safe way is to remove the old, worn brushes from your tool and measure them accurately with a caliper. If the dimensions of your existing brushes are approximately 5 mm (thickness) and 13 mm (width) and the length of the seat is suitable for brushes up to 20 mm long, then this set (SKU: G00497) will fit your machine perfectly.
Can I grind down the carbon brushes if they are a little too big for my guide?
Yes, graphite is a relatively soft and easy material to work with. If the brushes are even a tenth of a millimeter too wide or too thick for your specific bearing, you can sand them down very gently and evenly with fine sandpaper to achieve smooth and unhindered sliding in the guide. However, for optimal and long-lasting performance, it is always best to choose the exact factory dimensions of 5x13x20mm.
Why are these graphite brushes a better choice than the cheapest non-original alternatives?
Our carbon brush set is made from premium, refined graphite that contains no coarse or hard impurities. Cheaper and lower quality brushes on the market often contain unrefined impurities that are abrasive and can quickly and irreparably damage the delicate copper on the motor commutator. This set ensures minimal motor wear, optimal sparking and stable electrical contact throughout the entire life of the brush.
