OVERVIEW

Genuine Metabo Maintenance Parts for Industrial Reliability

The Metabo 316065420 Brush Set is a critical maintenance component designed specifically for the high-performance WE15-150 Angle Grinder. In industrial environments where power tools are subjected to continuous heavy loads, the condition of the motor's carbon brushes is paramount to operational efficiency and tool longevity. These genuine OEM brushes are engineered to match the precise electrical and mechanical specifications of Metabo's Marathon motors, ensuring that your equipment continues to deliver the torque and speed required for demanding fabrication tasks.

One of the standout features of this brush set is the integrated auto-stop technology. As carbon brushes wear down over time due to friction against the commutator, they eventually reach a point where poor contact can cause arcing and significant damage to the motor's armature. Metabo's auto-stop mechanism automatically cuts the electrical circuit when the carbon wears to a critical level. This safety feature prevents costly damage to the motor, turning a potential motor replacement into a simple, routine maintenance procedure. By using genuine Metabo parts, you ensure that this safety mechanism functions exactly as intended, protecting your investment.

Replacing your carbon brushes with the 316065420 set restores the electrical connection efficiency, eliminating power fluctuations and intermittent operation often associated with worn components. The high-grade carbon compound used in these brushes is formulated to withstand high temperatures and mechanical vibration, providing a long service life even under the stress of heavy grinding and cutting applications. For maintenance managers and tool technicians, stocking these essential spares means minimizing downtime and maintaining the high safety standards expected of Metabo equipment.

At Josef Gas, we recommend using only authentic manufacturer parts for repairs to maintain warranty compliance and tool performance. This set includes the necessary components to replace both brushes in the motor assembly, returning your WE15-150 grinder to its optimal operating condition.

FAQ

This brush set is specifically designed for the Metabo WE15-150 Angle Grinder. It may also fit other specific models in the WE15 series; always check your tool's parts diagram or manual to confirm the part number before ordering.

Yes, the Metabo 316065420 package typically includes a pair (2) of carbon brushes, which is required to replace the brushes on both sides of the motor simultaneously.

Auto-stop is a safety mechanism built into the carbon brush. When the carbon wears down to a specific minimum length, a spring-loaded pin is released to break the electrical contact, stopping the motor. This prevents the metal brush holder from contacting and damaging the rotating commutator.

Common signs include excessive sparking inside the motor housing, intermittent power loss, the tool hesitating to start, or the tool stopping completely (if auto-stop has engaged). If you experience these issues, inspect the brushes immediately.

Yes, replacing carbon brushes is a standard maintenance task for angle grinders. Most Metabo grinders are designed with service covers or accessible brush holders to make this process relatively simple with basic tools.

OEM brushes use a specific carbon composition matched to the motor's design to ensure optimal conductivity and wear rates. Generic brushes may be too hard (damaging the commutator) or too soft (wearing out quickly) and often lack the protective auto-stop feature.

If the old brushes have worn down enough to trigger the auto-stop, replacing them will fix the issue. However, if the switch or power cord is damaged, brushes won't solve the problem. Checking the brushes is the best first step in troubleshooting.
