SEBO Rear Axle Assembly with Wheels, Pedal and Spring for AUTOMATIC X1, X2, X4, X4 Boost and X5 — Gray Black

One assembly does two jobs at the back of an AUTOMATIC X upright: it carries the rear wheels the machine rolls on and it holds the pedal that releases the handle into the reclined position. Part 5051GS is that unit in gray black, listed at position 116 in SEBO's AUTOMATIC X4/X5 diagram, with items 117 through 120 making up its individual pieces.

Wheels, pedal and spring all age at much the same rate, so taking the complete set is usually the last work the back end needs for years. Fitting it whole also avoids tensioning a new spring against plastic that is already worn, which is what shortens the life of a piecemeal repair. The symptoms that send people here are a machine that rolls unevenly or pulls to one side, a handle that will not stay upright, and a pedal that has to be pressed twice before the latch lets go.

The individual numbers inside the group are useful when only one thing has broken. The orange foot pedal on its own is 5059OR, shown at position 117; the bare axle is 5053 at position 118; the axle spring is 2010 and the clamps that retain the axle are 2014 singly or 2014ER in a ten pack. Where two or more of those have gone, the complete assembly is the cleaner job.

Searches such as SEBO AUTOMATIC X4 rear axle, X5 wheel and pedal assembly, or SEBO part 5051GS all describe this item. Service supplies for the same machines are worth adding while the upright is on its side: the service box 5828AM brings eight bags with a microfilter, exhaust filter and sealing strip, and 5827AM is the HEPA equivalent.
