Carbon Brush Set [999-073] for Hitachi Power Tools

Description:

Set of 2 Carbon Brushes with wire leads and brush springs attached. The set contains genuine Hitachi replacement parts.
This brush set will fit the Hitachi tools listed at the bottom of the page.
• Worn brushes frequently are the cause behind a motor running poorly.
• Replacing brushes can fix a motor that’s operating intermittently.
• New brushes can restore a motor’s electric braking.

Carbon brushes are one of the most commonly replaced power tool parts. This is because carbon brushes are wear items, meaning that through friction and use they will gradually wear away until they need replacing. Worn brushes are a common causes of intermittent motor function, reduced electric braking and reduced motor power. A worn-out brush will often be worn down near to the wire lead and can be cracked, pitted, or burned. When replacing carbon brushes, be sure to inspect your armature for burns, cracks, or other damage which can indicate larger motor problems.

This Brush will pop out a pin when the Brush wears to a certain length.
It is advised to keep an extra set of these brushes on hand at all times

The hammer drill would not hammer

After installing the new parts the hammer drill still did not hammer.
I called a technician who advised me that excess grease would stop the hammer function. I removed the excess grease and Walla! It hammers now!

The Demolition Hammer was very slow in the pounding action.

I took the demolition hammer completely apart to check for damaged wires and also to clean the inside of demolition hammer from dust and to check the bearings.

Would not hammer

Watched U tube videos. Guy in Europe repairs tools and makes great videos. Got parts breakdown drawing from Mfr website. Broke down tools, found broke parts, ordered all needed from eReplacementParts and put tools back together according to video. Tools broke due to user not following recommended maintenance of grease every 6-months.
Note: lock ring pliers are not the same as snap ring, and really help with this tool.

Stopped working. Rotor was worn, brushes shot, brush holders shot.

Took Hitachi hammer motor and switch assembly apart. Determined parts needed. Removed the bearings. Spun the rotor in the lathe to recondition the brush contact area. Installed the new bearings and installed the rotor in the new motor housing. Installed the new brushes and reassembled. Also, installed the new cord. Parts also included the new motor housing and the bearings. Much cheaper than a new hammer and works excellent. Parts delivered quickly.

Question: I Just Change The Brushes

Jamesjohn

The new brushes are the same size as the existing ones.

When i try the tool it worked well for a few moments then i started smelling electrical burning and the tool slowed. not good.

without knowing the inside of the tool I am not sure what it might be. I hope not an armature.

What is your suggestion for the next thing to look at?

last weekend i lost the uses of both of my rotary hammers. ouch.

Electrical smell + slowing of motor = big problem

I'd remove the armature and inspect the commutator bars for burns and damage.
If they are damaged, the armature can 'sometimes' just be replaced and the problem solved. But.,.. often when the armature shorts out it will cause damage to the field, causing it to need replacement also.
