OVERVIEW

Genuine Metabo Replacement Carbon Brushes (316055200)

Keep your Metabo angle grinder in top fighting shape with the Metabo 316055200 Carbon Brush Set. As any professional welder or fabricator knows, the angle grinder is the workhorse of the shop. Over time, the carbon brushes that transfer electricity to the spinning motor will wear down. Symptoms like excessive sparking, a burning smell, or a tool that simply won't turn on often indicate it's time for a swap. This genuine Metabo kit provides everything you need to perform a quick repair and get back to grinding.

These brushes are not just generic replacements; they are engineered to match the specific conductivity and hardness requirements of Metabo's Marathon motors. Using inferior aftermarket brushes can lead to rapid wear or damage to the commutator. The 316055200 set includes the vital cut-off feature. This implies that a small spring-loaded pin will pop out when the carbon is consumed, physically pushing the brush away from the armature and stopping the motor. This is a fail-safe design intended to sacrifice the cheap brush to save the expensive motor.

Installation is straightforward for those familiar with power tool maintenance. Simply access the brush caps or housing on your grinder, remove the old worn-out brushes, and slide these new ones in. It is recommended to always replace both brushes at the same time to ensure even wear and consistent electrical contact. Fits various models including W 9-100, W 9-115, W 9-125 Quick, WEV 10-125 Quick, and more.

FAQ

Common signs include the tool failing to start, intermittent operation during use, excessive sparking visible through the vents, or a decrease in power/torque. If your tool has the auto-stop feature, it will simply stop working abruptly when the brushes are worn out.

Yes, the Metabo 316055200 part number typically refers to a set that includes the necessary brushes to service one tool (usually a pair).

This set fits a variety of Metabo small angle grinders, including but not limited to W 9-100, W 9-115, W 9-125, WEV 10-125, and WEV 11-125. Always check your tool's specific spare parts diagram to confirm compatibility.

The cut-off (or auto-stop) feature is a safety mechanism where a small pin inside the carbon brush extends when the carbon wears down to a minimum safe length. This lifts the brush off the commutator, cutting power to the motor to prevent metal-on-metal contact that would ruin the armature.

No, these are genuine Metabo parts designed specifically for Metabo motor housings and holders. They are not universal.

For heavy industrial use, it is good practice to inspect brushes every few months or whenever you blow out dust from the tool. For occasional use, they may last for years without needing inspection until symptoms arise.
