The Nilfisk SC401 is a compact walk-behind scrubber-dryer with a 43 cm deck that takes either a brush or a pad, offered in battery (43 B / 43 BD traction) and mains (43 E) versions. Every version uses a single disc; brush speed is 140 rpm on battery models and 170 rpm on the cable model, with a click-on/off brush fitting.

Variants and what to check
Brush and pad sizes come from the Nilfisk factsheet for the SC400 43 B/43 E, the machine the SC401 replaced with the same 430 mm single-disc format; a US parts dealer's SC401 parts collection carries the same brush numbers (L08812891 and 9095691000-9095694000). Check the model plate before ordering: the SC401 E (cable) runs faster (170 rpm) than battery versions, which matters for aggressive grit brushes.
What to send us for a quote
- Outer diameter of the brush or pad driver, measured across the bristle tips.
- The drive hub on top: clutch-plate type, number of lugs, or the hole pattern — a clear photo is usually enough.
- Trim length (how far the bristles stick out of the block) and the current fill: polypropylene, nylon or abrasive grit.
- For cylindrical decks: overall length, core diameter and the shape of the drive ends.
- Your machine model (Nilfisk SC401) and, if you have it, the OEM part number from the old brush.
Frequently asked questions
- What size brush fits the Nilfisk SC401?
- A single 430 mm (17 in) disc brush; the pad holder takes 17 in / 432 mm pads.
- Are SC400 and SC401 brushes interchangeable?
- Both are 430 mm single-disc machines and dealers list the same brush numbers for both, but confirm with your serial number because only the SC400 factsheet was available as an OEM document.
- Which brush is fitted as standard?
- The SC400 factsheet lists L08812891 (430 mm Prolene) as the brush included with the machine.
