Festool KAPEX KS 120 230V Armature and End Shield Assembly
At a Glance: Genuine Festool 230V replacement motor armature supplied preassembled with the supporting end shield for compatible KAPEX KS 120 and KS 88 saws.
The Festool KS 120 ET-BG 230V end shield is a genuine replacement motor assembly for selected KAPEX sliding compound mitre saws. Although officially designated as an end shield, the replacement unit is supplied as a more comprehensive assembly incorporating the armature or rotor, commutator, shaft components and supporting end-shield structure shown in the product image.
The armature is the rotating heart of the saw&s electric motor. Working within the corresponding field assembly, it converts electrical energy into the rotational movement needed to drive the blade. The end shield supports and accurately locates the rotating assembly, helping maintain the correct relationship between the armature, bearings, brushes and adjoining drivetrain components.
This 230V assembly provides a professional repair solution when the original armature, commutator, shaft or supporting end-shield components have been diagnosed as damaged. Correct installation requires detailed motor knowledge, specialised test equipment and subsequent electrical and mechanical safety testing.
Supplying the armature together with its corresponding end shield reduces the need to build the rotating assembly from separate major components. The matched arrangement supports accurate bearing location, controlled rotation and dependable integration with the compatible KAPEX motor system.
Product Highlights
- More than an empty end shield: Supplied with the armature or rotor assembly installed as shown.
- Genuine Festool spare part: Manufactured as the specified replacement motor assembly for compatible machines.
- 230V configuration: Designed for selected European and compatible 240V KAPEX electrical variants.
- Integrated commutator: Provides the contact surface through which the carbon brushes energise the rotating armature.
- Accurate bearing support: The end shield helps locate and support the rotating motor assembly.
- Drivetrain connection: The armature shaft transfers rotational power towards the saw&s gear and blade-drive system.
- Multi-model application: Listed for selected KS 120 EB, KS 120 REB and KS 88 RE machines.
Compatibility
- Festool KAPEX KS 120 REB, machine order number 10028570
- Festool KAPEX KS 120 REB GB 240V, machine order number 10034767
- Festool KAPEX KS 88 RE, machine order number 10034852
- Selected Festool KAPEX KS 120 EB 230V variants
- Festool KAPEX KS 120 EB 230V, machine type number 10037842
- Festool KAPEX KS 120 EB 230V, machine order number 495773
- Compatibility depends on the complete machine type number, voltage, production version and serial number.
- Confirm Festool spare-part number 204141 against the exact machine before ordering.
Extra Information
- This product is supplied as the combined armature and end-shield assembly shown, rather than as an empty end-shield casting.
- The assembly is intended for compatible 230V machines and selected listed 240V variants.
- FES204142 is a separate version intended for applicable GB 110V machines and must not be confused with FES204141.
- FES204143 is a separate 120V version and must not be substituted for this 230V assembly.
- The field or stator assembly, carbon-brush set, brush holder, motor housing, electronic module and power switch are separately listed service components.
- Motor sparking, loss of power or overheating does not automatically indicate armature failure. The brushes, field coil, electronics, bearings and wiring should also be tested.
- Inspect the corresponding field assembly for heat damage or winding faults before installing a new armature.
- Carbon brushes should be inspected for correct length, free movement and even contact with the new commutator.
- After installation, the motor, drivetrain, brake, guards and complete electrical safety system must be tested before the saw is returned to service.
Pro Tips
- Record the complete T-number and serial number from the saw&s rating plate before requesting compatibility confirmation.
- Test the armature and field windings before ordering, as a failed field coil or electronic module can produce similar symptoms.
- Inspect the existing carbon brushes and replace them if worn, damaged, overheated or unable to seat correctly against the new commutator.
- Check the gear assembly, bearings and drivetrain for seizure or excessive resistance that may have contributed to the original armature failure.
- Clean accumulated carbon dust from the motor housing and ventilation passages during the repair.
- Do not machine, sand or modify the new commutator unless specifically required by an authorised Festool service procedure.
- Retain the original motor assembly until the replacement has been installed and the complete machine has passed all tests.
Features
- Original Festool assembly: Provides the manufacturer-specified replacement instead of a rewound or adapted universal armature.
- Preassembled armature and end shield: Combines major rotating motor and support components in one replacement unit.
- 230V motor configuration: Wound and configured for the listed 230V and compatible 240V machine variants.
- Integrated commutator: Designed to operate with the corresponding Festool carbon brushes and brush-holder system.
- Precision armature shaft: Maintains the required rotational relationship between the motor and adjoining drivetrain.
- End-shield bearing support: Helps hold the armature securely and maintain correct rotational alignment.
- Integrated cooling components: Incorporates the applicable airflow components shown as part of the motor assembly.
- Model-specific mounting: Designed around the motor housing and drivetrain arrangement of compatible KAPEX saws.
- Traceable identification: Festool part number 204141 and GTIN 4014549330111 support accurate component selection.
Benefits
- Restores motor rotation: Replaces a failed or damaged armature responsible for generating rotational drive.
- Supports accurate alignment: The matched end shield helps position the armature correctly within the motor assembly.
- Reduces separate assembly work: Major rotating components are supplied together rather than requiring a bare armature to be installed into an old end shield.
- Addresses commutator damage: Provides a replacement when the original commutator is burnt, heavily worn or otherwise beyond service limits.
- Protects the machine investment: Allows an otherwise serviceable KAPEX saw to be professionally repaired.
- Maintains system compatibility: Designed to work with the applicable Festool field assembly, brushes, electronics and drivetrain components.
Application
- Replacement of a professionally diagnosed failed motor armature
- Repair of a burnt, worn or damaged commutator
- Correction of armature winding faults after electrical testing
- Replacement following bearing seizure or damage to the supporting end shield
- Repair of excessive armature run-out or rotor contact after professional diagnosis
- Professional refurbishment of compatible 230V KAPEX KS 120 saws

Safety
- This motor assembly should be installed only by Festool or a suitably qualified electrical and power-tool repair technician.
- Disconnect the saw completely from the mains supply before inspection, disassembly or servicing.
- Remove the saw blade before dismantling the motor or surrounding drivetrain components.
- Do not connect the armature directly to a power source or attempt to operate it outside the correctly assembled machine.
- Confirm the machine voltage and exact compatibility before installation.
- Inspect all bearings, brushes, wiring, insulation and field components before installing the replacement assembly.
- Ensure that the armature rotates freely without contacting the field assembly, housing or other internal components.
- Use the correct fasteners, tightening torques, clearances and assembly procedures specified by Festool.
- After installation, perform insulation, protective-earth, no-load, brake and complete functional safety testing.
- Stop the saw immediately if excessive sparking, abnormal noise, vibration, overheating, smoke or a burning smell occurs.
- Follow the Festool service documentation and all applicable electrical and machinery safety requirements.
