POLISHER LARGE GEAR FOR POL05

Features

• Genuine Tork Craft large gearbox gear for the POL05 polisher.
• Matches the original POL05 tooth profile and gear ratio.
• Precision-machined for accurate mesh with the mating pinion gear.
• Durable material selected for high-load polishing and compounding work.
• Designed to fit directly into the original POL05 gearbox housing.
• Supplied under the POL05-10 spare part reference.

Benefits

• Restores smooth, positive drive between motor and backing pad.
• Reduces gearbox noise, chatter and harshness caused by worn gears.
• Helps maintain consistent pad speed under load for better results.
• Protects other gearbox components by bringing tooth mesh back to spec.
• Extends the working life of the POL05 instead of replacing the complete tool.

Extra Information

Typical signs that the main gearbox gear needs attention include knocking or grinding noises from the head, visible damage on the gear teeth when inspected, vibration under load or a polisher that feels “rough” even with good bearings and a healthy motor. In these cases, replacing the large gear with a genuine POL05-10 part is often the key step in a proper gearbox overhaul.

For best results, the new gear should be installed together with fresh grease and a careful inspection of the mating pinion, bearings and seals. A correctly set up POL05 gearbox gives operators a smoother, more predictable feel on the panel, which shows in the quality of the finish.

Pro Tip

Pro Tip: When rebuilding the gearbox with a new POL05-10 large gear, thoroughly clean out all old grease and debris first. Check the mating pinion for wear and replace it if the tooth faces are sharp or pitted, then apply a thin, even layer of suitable high-quality grease before closing the housing. After reassembly, run the polisher at low speed with no load and listen for a smooth, even gear note before returning it to full-duty work.

Specifications

Safety

• Always unplug the polisher from the mains before opening the gearbox or working on internal parts.
• Allow the tool to cool down fully before handling gears, bearings and housings.
• Use suitable pullers and drivers where needed – do not force gears on or off shafts with a hammer.
• Ensure all gearbox screws, clips and covers are securely refitted before testing under power.
• Test the POL05 under no load after reassembly and only return it to normal use once you are satisfied with the sound and feel.
• If you are unsure about mechanical repairs, have the work carried out by a qualified technician or an approved service centre.
