Prime Mover Brushes Parts

Find replacement motor brushes and brush holders for electric pallet jacks, walkie stackers, and forklifts — a routine maintenance item for DC series-wound and separately excited (SepEx) traction and pump motors. Our Brushes collection covers carbon brush sets and brush holders for the most common DC motor applications across major OEM brands.

Compatible equipment brands include Crown, Yale, Hyster, Prime Mover, BT Prime Mover, Raymond, and other major OEM and aftermarket manufacturers. Brushes are matched by motor manufacturer, frame size, and brush dimensions for verified fitment.

Brush types available:

• Traction Motor Brushes — carbon brushes for drive motor commutators
• Pump Motor Brushes — carbon brushes for hydraulic pump motor commutators
• Brush Holders — replacement brush holder assemblies for motor end caps
• Brush Spring Sets — replacement tension springs for brush holder assemblies

How to select the right brush: Match by motor manufacturer, motor model number, and brush dimensions (length × width × height). Brush dimensions are typically stamped on the existing brush or listed in the motor service manual. Key specs also include brush grade (carbon content) — always replace with the OEM-specified grade to avoid accelerated commutator wear. Replace brushes in complete sets (all brushes in the motor at the same time) to ensure even wear.

Replacement interval: Inspect brushes every 500–1,000 operating hours. Replace when worn to 50% of original length or when the brush spring no longer maintains adequate contact pressure.
