Description
Overview:
The Armature Assembly 110v for Makita 5704R is the rotating core of the saw's brushed motor, responsible for converting electrical energy into the torque that drives the blade. This genuine Makita component (OEM 516466-9) is built with copper windings on a laminated steel core, a precision-ground steel shaft, and a robust commutator for reliable current transfer. It is engineered specifically for 110 V machines commonly used on UK construction sites via a site transformer. Supplied as a complete armature assembly, it restores smooth running, reduces sparking when paired with good brushes, and helps the saw deliver consistent power under load. Designed for the Makita 5704R circular saw, it maintains the original performance and fitment expected from a factory-spec part.
Key Features:
- Genuine Makita part (OEM 516466-9) for correct fit and performance
- 110 V specification to match UK site-use machines and transformers
- Copper windings and laminated steel core for efficient power delivery and durability
- Precision-balanced rotor helps minimise vibration and motor noise
- Accurate commutator geometry supports clean brush contact and reduces arcing
- Direct replacement for worn, burnt, or damaged armatures to restore cutting performance
- Manufactured to Makita tolerances for reliable alignment with bearings, gears, and housing
- Compatible with the Makita 5704R; maintains factory blade speed and torque under load
- Helps resolve symptoms such as loss of power, overheating, or excessive sparking (with serviceable brushes)
- Typically straightforward to fit with standard hand tools during a routine motor overhaul
- Built for long service life when used with clean air paths and correct brush seating
Typical Applications:
Used to replace a failed or worn armature in the Makita 5704R circular saw, restoring reliable start-up, steady speed, and cutting power. Suitable for trade users, facilities teams, and DIY users who maintain 110 V site tools for framing, sheet cutting, and general carpentry on site or in workshops.
