OVERVIEW

Restore Your Grinder's Functionality with the Metabo HPT 636890 Shaft Lock

The Metabo HPT 636890 Shaft Lock is a critical genuine OEM replacement component designed for specific Hitachi and Metabo HPT angle grinders. In the demanding environment of industrial fabrication and welding, power tools like angle grinders are subjected to rigorous daily use. Over time, the spindle lock mechanism—used to immobilize the shaft during wheel changes—can wear out or break due to frequent engagement or accidental impact. This replacement part restores the original safety and convenience features of your tool, ensuring that abrasive discs can be swapped out quickly and securely.

Manufactured to the exact specifications of the original equipment, this shaft lock ensures a perfect fit for models such as the G12SR2, G12SS, and G13SC. Using genuine parts is essential for maintaining the longevity of your power tools and ensuring operator safety. A malfunctioning shaft lock can make changing wheels difficult or dangerous, potentially leading to slippage or improper tightening of the flange nut. By installing this authentic Metabo HPT component, you eliminate these risks and extend the service life of your valuable grinding equipment.

Installation is straightforward for maintenance personnel familiar with power tool repair. The part integrates seamlessly into the gear housing of the grinder. Whether you are repairing a single tool or stocking MRO parts for a fleet of grinders in a fabrication shop, the 636890 Shaft Lock is the reliable choice for maintaining peak operational efficiency.
