The felt forms the tight seal at the agitator, closing the gap where the brushroll shaft passes through the nozzle housing so that suction is drawn through the intended path instead of leaking around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAramid is specified here because the seal rides against a shaft turning at speed and has to take that heat and abrasion without glazing or crumbling. When it finally packs down flat, air short-circuits past the roller and the machine feels weak at the floor even though the motor is fine and the bag is empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: aramid felt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: Riccar 8000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction: agitator packing \/ airflow seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrder B016-0500B whenever the brushroll comes out for a belt or bearing job.
