The present invention offers a commutation assembly for an electrical motor, whereby a constant optimal pressure is maintained upon the commutator of the motor. This is accomplished by a commutation assembly comprising a torsion brush spring apparatus situated adjacent to a brush unit, the torsion brush spring apparatus generally comprising a spring element with a first end, a coiled center section, and a second end; the spring element having its coiled center section encircling and pivoting about a projection from the motor plate, the projection placed a certain distance D1 from the brush center line and a distance D2 above the lower edge of the brush; a first end extending towards the upper edge of the brush unit and applying a certain force Fx on the upper edge of the brush; and a second end abutting a portion of the motor casing; the brush unit generally comprising a brush having an upper edge in contact with the first end of the spring element and a lower edge in contact with the commutator; the brush unit also comprising a brush holder having a first exterior wall, a second exterior wall, a stop, an end and an aperture; wherein the brush holder, which is situated above the commutator allowing the brush to move longitudinally within the aperture to make contact with the commutator, provides a constant optimal pressure against the commutator due to the constant resulting force applied by the spring element on the brush.
