Wacker Neuson 5000216916 Carbon Brush

The Wacker Neuson Carbon Brush is a genuine OEM component designed for RCP and RCE series electric rebar cutters, including the RCP-12/120, RCP-16/120, RCP-20/120, RCP-25/120, RCP-32/120, RCE-16/120, RCE-20/120, and RCE-25/120 60 Hz models, as well as the corresponding RCP and RCE 115V GB variants. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, part meets the exact material and dimensional specifications of the original brush, ensuring consistent electrical contact and motor performance. This genuine OEM part covers an extensive range of both 120V and 115V rebar cutter models, making it a practical stocking item for contractors and service shops running multiple machines across a fleet.

Key Features

• OEM-Grade Carbon Composition — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's specified carbon density and conductivity ratings, maintaining stable current transfer through the motor's commutator over the service life of the brush.
• Direct Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original brush dimensions and terminal configuration so it seats correctly in the brush holder without modification — swap out the worn brush and get back to work.
• Broad RCP and RCE Series Coverage — Fits 12mm, 16mm, 20mm, 25mm, and 32mm cutting capacity models across both the 120V and 115V GB lineups, including RCP and RCE variants.
• Sustained Motor Output — A properly fitted carbon brush maintains full electrical contact with the commutator, preserving cutting torque and preventing the motor hesitation or overheating associated with a worn or undersized brush.
• Electrical Safety Compliance — Using the correct OEM brush material prevents excessive arcing at the commutator, which can damage windings and create an unsafe operating condition in a handheld cutting tool.

Carbon brushes are the consumable electrical contact points inside the rebar cutter's motor, transferring current from the stationary power supply to the rotating armature via the commutator. As the brushes wear down over time, contact becomes intermittent, causing the motor to lose power, run roughly, or fail to start altogether. Replacing the brushes with a correctly sized, OEM-specified part restores full motor efficiency and protects the commutator surface from the accelerated wear and scoring that an ill-fitting or degraded brush will cause.
