The Wacker Neuson Carbon Brush (Old) is a genuine OEM motor brush designed for the EH 23 and EH 50 series electric demolition breakers. As a direct factory replacement, this carbon brush matches the original profile and material grade used in production, ensuring the motor's electrical continuity is maintained without adaptation. It covers a broad range of EH 23 variants — including 230V, 115V, and 100V low-vibration configurations — as well as multiple EH 50/230 models fitted with hex shank sizes ranging from 25x108 to 28x160. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, part number carries the same specification as the brush installed at the factory, so you can service your breaker with confidence.
Key Features
- Correct Carbon Grade for Motor Brush Duty — Matched to the original resistivity and hardness spec for EH series universal motors, supporting stable current transfer under sustained percussion loads.
- Drop-In Brush Holder Fit — Sized to seat directly into the existing brush holder without filing or shimming, maintaining proper spring-loaded contact against the commutator.
- Wide EH Series Coverage — Compatible with EH 23/230, EH 23/115, EH 23/100 Low Vib, EH 23/110/22, and EH 50/230 breakers across multiple shank configurations (25x108, 27x80, 28x152, 28x160).
- Restores Full Motor Output — Worn or glazed carbon brushes cause arcing, power loss, and motor overheating in electric breakers; replacing with a correct-spec brush returns the tool to full striking energy.
- Electrical Safety Compliance — Using the correct OEM brush grade prevents excessive commutator sparking and heat buildup, both of which can damage motor windings and create shock or fire risk in jobsite conditions.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Supplied under part number 5000068513 with the same traceability and quality control as the original production component.
Carbon brushes are the sliding electrical contacts that transfer current from the power supply into the rotating armature of an electric breaker's motor. They press against the spinning commutator under spring tension, and over time the carbon material wears down through normal use. When a brush wears past its service limit or develops uneven contact, the motor loses efficiency, begins to arc visibly at the brush holders, runs hotter than normal, and ultimately loses striking power or stops working altogether. Replacing the carbon brushes at the correct service interval — or at the first sign of arcing or reduced performance — is one of the most cost-effective maintenance tasks on any electric demolition tool.
