POLISHER SERVICE KIT ARMATURE (31) FOR POL04

Features

• Genuine Tork Craft armature service kit for the POL04 rotary polisher.
• Includes armature corresponding to item 31 on the POL04 parts diagram.
• Factory-balanced rotor for smooth, low-vibration operation at speed.
• Precision-machined commutator for consistent carbon brush contact.
• Correct shaft length and profiles to suit original bearings and gears.
• Built to handle regular professional use in panel and detailing shops.

Benefits

• Restores lost power and performance on a weak or non-running POL04.
• Reduces heavy sparking that can damage brushes, switchgear and electronics.
• Helps the backing pad run true for a smoother, more even polishing finish.
• Extends the life of the tool by rebuilding the motor instead of replacing the whole machine.
• Using the correct OEM armature simplifies future servicing and diagnostics.

Extra Information

Common signs that the armature needs replacement include strong burning smells, heavy visible sparking at the brushes, tripping of power protection, a whining or grinding motor note, or a polisher that refuses to run even after new brushes and a healthy cable and switch have been fitted. In these cases, replacing the armature with the POL04-SK07 kit is often the key step in a proper motor rebuild.

When the motor is stripped far enough to replace the armature, it is sensible to inspect the stator, bearings, carbon brushes, cable and speed controller at the same time. Combining mechanical and electrical checks with genuine Tork Craft spares helps keep the POL04 rotary polisher dependable for everyday professional use on cars, bakkies, trailers and other projects.

Pro Tip

Pro Tip: Armature replacement is advanced work – take clear photos of the wiring, insulation pieces, spacers and washers as you strip the motor. After fitting the new armature from the POL04-SK07 kit and reassembling the bearings and gear train, run the polisher at low speed with no load first, listening for a smooth, even motor note and checking for minimal sparking before returning it to full-duty polishing work.

Specifications

Safety

• Always unplug the polisher from the mains before opening the housing or working on the motor.
• Allow the tool to cool down fully before handling internal components.
• Ensure bearings, spacers and washers are installed in the correct order with the new armature.
• Keep wiring correctly routed and insulated away from sharp edges and moving parts.
• Refit all covers, guards and screws securely and test the polisher under no load before normal use.
• If you are unsure about electrical repairs, have the work carried out by a qualified technician or an approved service centre.
