POLISHER SERVICE KIT ARMATURE REAR BEARING & BAFFLE (32-35) FOR POL04

Features

• Genuine Tork Craft rear armature bearing and baffle service kit for the POL04 polisher.
• Covers rear motor support and airflow components listed as items 32–35.
• Precision rear bearing to support the armature at the handle end.
• Formed baffle to guide cooling air over the motor windings.
• Matched to the original POL04 motor housing and armature layout.
• Designed for regular professional use in automotive and industrial environments.

Benefits

• Restores smooth rear support for the armature, reducing vibration and harshness.
• Helps maintain correct cooling airflow to keep motor temperatures under control.
• Reduces wear on brushes, commutator and stator caused by excess heat and shaft movement.
• Improves overall feel and sound of the POL04 under load.
• Extends the useful life of the polisher without replacing the complete tool.
• Convenient kit format saves time compared with sourcing individual rear motor parts.

Extra Information

Typical signs that the rear bearing and baffle need attention include increased motor noise from the handle end, a rough or “gritty” feel when the spindle is turned by hand, excessive brush wear, or a polisher that runs hotter than usual during normal work. If you can feel play when you move the shaft side-to-side near the rear of the motor, the rear bearing is often due for replacement.

Because the rear of the motor draws in cooling air, the baffle and surrounding area are exposed to dust and compound from daily polishing work. Refreshing the rear bearing and baffle with the POL04-SK08 kit, together with a careful clean-out of dust and debris, helps the polisher breathe properly again and supports long-term reliability.

Pro Tip

Pro Tip: When rebuilding the rear of the motor with the POL04-SK08 kit, take the time to blow out or vacuum loose dust from the stator and motor housing. Use suitable pullers and press tools to remove and install the rear bearing without striking the shaft, and make sure the new baffle sits squarely in place before closing the housing. After assembly, run the POL04 at low speed with no load to check for a smooth motor note and reduced vibration before putting it back into full-duty service.

Specifications

Safety

• Always unplug the polisher from the mains before opening the motor housing or working on internal components.
• Allow the tool to cool down fully before handling bearings, baffles and wiring.
• Use correct tools to remove and install bearings – do not hammer directly on the armature shaft or bearing races.
• Ensure the new bearing and baffle are seated correctly and that the armature spins freely before closing the housing.
• Test the POL04 under no load after reassembly and only return it to normal use once you are satisfied with the sound, cooling airflow and feel.
• If you are unsure about motor repairs, have the work carried out by a qualified technician or an approved service centre.
