Tornado Tempest Brushroll Joint Ring K63634060

The Tornado Tempest brushroll joint ring (part# K63634060) is the sealing ring at the brushroll bearing joint on the TV400-W26-U cordless sweeper. Tacony lists it as Joint Ring, for Tempest Brush roll.

The brushroll bearings are sealed units, but the joint they sit in also needs closing — otherwise carpet fibre works its way in alongside the bearing and packs against its seal face. That packing is what eventually breaches a 2RS seal, so the joint ring is a few dollars standing between the debris in the brush chamber and a bearing that costs several times as much and takes a strip-down to change.

Compatible Models for the Brushroll Joint Ring

• Tornado Tempest Wide-Area Cordless Carpet Vacuum Sweeper — Model TV400-W26-U

When to replace it

• The ring is flattened, hardened, split or has taken a set.
• Fibre or grit is found packed around the bearing.
• The ring has come out of its seat.
• A bearing has failed at that end — renew the ring with it.
• Any time the brushroll assembly has been dismantled.

Fitting notes

Remove the battery pack before starting. Clean the seat and clear any wound fibre before fitting. Seat the ring fully without stretching it. Fit new rings whenever new bearings go in — the ring is a fraction of the bearing’s cost and it is the part that determines how long the new bearing lasts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the joint ring do on the Tornado Tempest?

It seals the brushroll bearing joint, keeping carpet fibre and grit from packing against the bearing’s own seal face and eventually breaching it.

How do I know if it needs replacing?

If it is flattened, hardened or split, if it has come out of its seat, or if fibre and grit are found packed around the bearing.

What models is the joint ring (part# K63634060) compatible with?

The Tornado Tempest TV400-W26-U wide-area cordless carpet sweeper. PartSmart lists it against the Tempest alone.

Should I fit new joint rings with new bearings?

Yes. The ring costs a fraction of the bearing and it is what determines how long the new bearing lasts. Fitting a new bearing behind a tired ring wastes most of the work.
