New commutators for armatures being rewound or repaired. No original part needed: a drawing, or the old part's dimensions and a couple of photos, is enough.

The dimensions we work from
If you have them, the numbers on the diagram are the ones the factory needs. If you don't, a drawing or two photos of the old part does the job and we take it from there.
1 segments · 2 commutator diameter · 3 riser diameter · 4 diameter over V-ring · 5 bore · 6 total copper length · 7 brush surface length · 8/9 front and rear V-ring extension · 10 riser width · 11/12 slot width and depth.

Open the full data sheetFor rewind shops
A second source for the part you can't get quickly or cheaply.
Most UK rewind shops have one supplier for commutators, a long lead time and a price that has crept up for years. We give you a UK company to deal with, a firm price within 2 working days and a part made to your drawing.
What rewinders put up with today
- One supplier, long lead times, and a price that keeps rising
- Or import it yourself: euros, duty, a courier bill and no UK invoice
- Quotes that take days when the motor is already on the bench
- Nobody checks the drawing, so a wrong part turns up weeks later
