Tornado Tempest Side Broom Drive Disc K56250410

The Tornado Tempest side broom drive disc (part# K56250410) is the disc that carries the side brush (part# K50322210) and transmits drive to it from the side broom motor (part# K64542210). Tacony lists it as Drive Disc, Side Broom.

It is the interface between a metal motor shaft and a consumable brush that gets changed repeatedly over the machine’s life, and every one of those changes works the mounting features. A worn disc does not stop the brush turning — it lets it turn slightly out of true, and a side brush running with a wobble wears into a cone shape within days instead of lasting months. That makes the disc a part worth inspecting every time a brush is fitted.

Compatible Models for the Side Broom Drive Disc

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

Symptoms that point to the drive disc

• A new side brush wore out unusually quickly or unevenly.
• The brush visibly wobbles as it turns.
• The brush works loose on the disc in service.
• The disc is cracked, or its mounting features are rounded off.
• The disc turns on the motor shaft rather than with it.

The first symptom is the useful one. If a side brush has worn out far faster than usual, look at the disc before fitting the replacement — otherwise the new brush will do the same thing.

Fitting notes

Remove the battery pack before starting. The disc mounts on the side broom motor shaft and is secured with an M4 x 10 screw (part# K73044830). Check the motor shaft for wear while the disc is off. Fit the disc square and confirm it runs true by turning it by hand before mounting a brush — a wobble visible at the disc will be far worse at the bristle tips.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the side broom drive disc do on the Tornado Tempest?

It carries the side brush and transmits drive to it from the side broom motor, holding the brush square to its axis of rotation.

How do I know if my drive disc needs replacing?

If a new side brush wore out quickly or unevenly, if the brush visibly wobbles as it turns, if it works loose in service, or if the disc is cracked or its mounting features are rounded.

What models is the drive disc (part# K56250410) compatible with?

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

Should I check the disc when fitting a new side brush?

Yes — it takes seconds and it decides how long the new brush lasts. A worn disc lets the brush run out of true, and a wobbling side brush wears to a cone in days rather than months.
