Milwaukee Carbon Brush
Model Number: 22-16-0295
The Milwaukee 22-16-0295 is a genuine OEM Carbon Brush replacement for compatible Milwaukee brushed power tools — the carbon brush contact element that conducts electrical current between the stationary circuit and the rotating armature commutator in brushed DC electric motors. The carbon brush is the primary consumable wear component in brushed motor tools — it wears progressively shorter from commutator contact during tool operation, and when it reaches minimum length the motor loses performance and eventually stops running. Replacing the carbon brush before complete wear prevents the armature commutator damage from arcing that occurs when brushes wear through to the spring end — commutator damage from running worn brushes requires much more costly motor component replacement compared to the routine brush service this single component replacement represents.
The carbon brush compound specification — its hardness, carbon grade, and electrical conductivity characteristics — is engineered for the specific motor design it serves, balancing commutator wear rate, brush wear rate, and electrical contact quality for optimum motor life and performance. Using an incorrect replacement brush with different compound characteristics than the OEM specification produces different motor performance characteristics and potentially accelerated commutator wear. Most Milwaukee brushed motors use brushes in pairs — inspect both brush positions when one brush requires replacement and replace both simultaneously using OEM brushes to maintain balanced electrical delivery and consistent motor performance. Always verify your specific Milwaukee tool's model number and serial number at milwaukeetool.com before ordering.
