OVERVIEW

Restore Motor Efficiency with Genuine ESAB Parts

The ESAB 679784 Kit Brush & Cap 2EA is a critical maintenance component designed to ensure the longevity and reliability of your ESAB welding or cutting equipment. Electric motors, whether in wire feeders, plasma cutters, or other industrial tools, rely on carbon brushes to conduct current to the rotating armature. Over time, these brushes wear down due to friction and electrical arcing. This kit provides a direct OEM replacement to restore proper electrical contact and motor function.

Using genuine ESAB parts is essential for maintaining the factory specifications of your machinery. Worn brushes can lead to erratic operation, loss of power, and eventually permanent damage to the motor's commutator. This kit includes not just the carbon brushes but also the retaining caps, ensuring that the new brushes are held securely in place with the correct tension. This comprehensive approach to maintenance minimizes downtime and prevents more costly repairs in the future.

Industrial environments demand equipment that performs consistently. By proactively replacing worn brushes with the ESAB 679784 kit, facility managers and technicians can avoid unexpected equipment failure. The components are manufactured to high tolerances, ensuring they fit perfectly into the brush holders of compatible ESAB units. This attention to detail guarantees smooth operation and optimal current transfer, which is vital for the precision required in welding and cutting applications.

Whether you are performing routine scheduled maintenance or repairing a unit that has shown signs of motor fatigue, this kit offers the quality assurance that comes with the ESAB brand. Keep your operations running smoothly and extend the lifecycle of your valuable assets with this essential repair kit.

FAQ

The kit typically includes 2 carbon brushes and 2 retaining caps, providing a complete set for one motor replacement.

Common signs include excessive sparking visible inside the motor vents, intermittent power loss, or the motor failing to start. Physical inspection will show if the carbon is worn down near the limit mark.

Yes, this is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part from ESAB, ensuring exact fit and material quality.

Caps can become brittle, stripped, or damaged over time. Replacing them ensures the new brushes are held securely and protected from debris.

No, it is specific to certain models. Please check your equipment's parts manual or schematic to verify that part number 679784 is required.

Yes. If brushes wear down completely, the metal spring or holder can contact the commutator, causing severe damage that may require replacing the entire motor.

Generally, replacing brushes is a straightforward maintenance task. However, always disconnect power before servicing and consult your machine's manual for specific instructions.

The carbon brush conducts electrical current between the stationary wires and the rotating parts of the motor, allowing it to spin.
