Middleby 22450-0052 Replacement Brush Set for Baldor Motor

Description

The Middleby 22450-0052 brush set is a genuine OEM pair of carbon motor brushes (old style) used in Baldor motors (and equivalents) in several Middleby / Middleby Marshall ovens. Motor brushes wear down over time from friction against the commutator; replacing worn brushes restores full contact, reduces sparking, improves motor performance, and extends motor life.

💡 Tech Tip

• When replacing brushes, measure the existing ones first to make sure the replacement matches in all dimensions and that clip/spring fit correctly. Even small differences can cause bad contact or excess wear.

• Clean the commutator (the copper segments inside the motor) carefully. Remove any carbon dust or burrs—that helps the new brushes seat properly and avoid sparking.

• Let the brushes seat in by running the motor under light load initially. This helps them conform to the commutator surface.

• Replace when brush length is reduced substantially (often when less than 50% of original length or when contact pressure is insufficient).

📌 Note

• These brushes are “old style” — newer motors or replacement motors might use a different brush design or size. Always confirm your motor’s ID (e.g. #68-1098) before buying.

• OEM part numbers are for reference. Ensure compatibility especially in dimensions, spring/clip style, and motor model.
