Complete guide: Inkmachines nr. 136 - Motor Washer - 1pcs
Ink Machines motor washer no. 136 is a small but precision original spare part, designed for the Scorpion X2 rotary tattoo machine. Its role is to correctly secure and align the motor assembly in the machine body and to evenly distribute the tightening pressure, so that the motor stays firmly in place without unwanted movement. It is intended for artists and technicians who maintain their own equipment and want to keep the machine stable, quiet, and precise. It is a mechanical component (not a consumable that touches the skin), supplied in a quantity of 1 piece.
How to use
- Turn off the machine and completely disconnect it from the power source before any intervention.
- Work on a clean, well-lit surface, with the machine exterior wiped and disinfected, to avoid introducing impurities into the mechanism.
- Disassemble the old motor following the InkMachines manual for Scorpion X2, until you reach the washer mounting area.
- Remove the old washer and inspect it: look for deformations, compression marks, corrosion, or cracks.
- Place the new washer no. 136 perfectly flat, in the position between the motor and the mounting surface in the machine body, without tilting.
- Reassemble the motor (motor assembly no. 135) and tighten evenly, without forcing the thread.
- Run the machine idle for a few seconds and listen: it should operate without vibrations or additional noise compared to normal.
- Do a short test on a practice material before resuming work on a client, to confirm correct alignment.
Tips from us
- Replace the washer with every motor change, even if it looks good — during use it may suffer microscopic deformations that affect the mounting of the new motor.
- Keep 2-3 spare pieces in your kit, so that such a small part never interrupts your work schedule.
- Use exclusively the original part with the correct reference number (no. 136); generic washers or those from other machines do not guarantee a proper fit and can cause alignment issues.
- Do not stack two washers to compensate — the thickness of the part is calibrated for a single piece, and doubling can alter the motor alignment.
- If you notice that the machine vibrates or is noisier than usual, check the washer among the possible causes.
- Note the date of each replacement, so you have a clear maintenance history of the machine.
Warning: This is a spare part for professional machines: only intervene with the machine turned off and disconnected from power, and do not force the tightening to avoid damaging the thread or motor. Use only original parts with the correct reference number to maintain the machine's designed alignment and tolerances. Even though the washer itself does not come into contact with the skin, equipment maintenance is part of general work hygiene: disinfect the machine exterior, use a protective cover/barrier during the session, and work on clean surfaces.
Frequently asked questions
What is the role of motor washer no. 136?▾
It ensures the correct fixing and alignment of the motor assembly in the Scorpion X2 machine body. It evenly distributes the tightening pressure and prevents unwanted movement or vibration of the motor. A worn or missing washer can lead to motor instability, vibrations, and additional noise.
Which machine is it compatible with?▾
It is an original InkMachines part designed for the Scorpion X2 machine, with dimensions and thickness calibrated for this model. Because it is a specific part, replacement with generic washers or from other machines is not recommended, as they do not guarantee a correct fit. Always order it by reference number no. 136.
Do I need to change it with every motor change?▾
Yes, it is recommended. During use, the washer may suffer microscopic deformations that affect the mounting of the new motor. A new washer ensures flat contact and optimal alignment, so the new motor works correctly from the start.
Can I use a generic washer or two stacked for compensation?▾
It is not recommended. The thickness of washer no. 136 is calibrated for a single piece, and using two washers or a generic one can alter the motor alignment and distance to other components, affecting the mechanism's operation. Stick to a single original part.
How can I tell if the washer is worn?▾
Inspect it visually: a washer in good condition is flat and uniform, without deformations, excessive compression marks, corrosion, or cracks. If the motor vibrates or is noisier than usual, the washer can be one of the causes to check, along with the rest of the assembly.
How do I properly maintain the machine and this part?▾
Only intervene with the machine turned off and disconnected. Keep the machine exterior clean and disinfected, use a protective cover/barrier during the session, and store spare parts in a clean, dry place. When changing the motor, install a new washer, and a few spare pieces in your kit ensure continuity of work.

Frequently Asked Questions What function does motor washer no. 136 serve in the Scorpion X2? The motor washer ensures correct mounting and precise alignment of the motor assembly in the Scorpion X2 body. It uniformly distributes clamping pressure and prevents unwanted motor movement or vibration. Without this washer, the motor could become unstable, causing excessive vibration and noise. Should I replace the washer with every motor change? Yes, we recommend replacing the motor washer with every motor change. The washer undergoes microscopic deformation during use that can affect the new motor's mounting. A new washer ensures perfect contact and optimal alignment, maximizing the performance of the newly installed motor. Is the motor washer a universal or specific part? Motor washer no. 136 is a specific part for the InkMachines Scorpion X2, with dimensions and thickness calibrated exactly for this model. Generic washers or those from other machines do not guarantee correct fit and can cause alignment problems. Always use the original part with the correct reference number. How do I check if the motor washer is worn? Inspect the washer visually for signs of wear: deformation, marks of excessive compression, corrosion, or cracks. A washer in good condition should be flat and uniform. If you notice the motor vibrating more than usual, the washer could be one of the possible causes that should be checked. How much does motor washer no. 136 cost? InkMachines motor washer no. 136 is priced at approximately 1 EUR, making it one of the most affordable spare parts. The low cost makes preventive replacement extremely advantageous compared to the risk of motor damage. We recommend purchasing 2-3 spare washers for any eventuality. Does the motor washer affect the machine's noise level? Yes, the motor washer significantly contributes to noise and vibration reduction. A worn or missing washer allows microscopic motor movements that generate additional noise. Replacing the washer can considerably reduce the machine's noise level, improving comfort for both artist and client. Can I use two washers for compensation? We do not recommend using two washers instead of one original. The dimensions and thickness of washer no. 136 are calibrated exactly for the Scorpion X2 tolerances. Using multiple washers can alter motor alignment and distance to other components, negatively affecting mechanism operation. Is the motor washer included in motor assembly no. 135? Motor assembly no. 135 includes necessary mounting components, but we recommend checking package contents upon receipt. If the washer is not included in the motor assembly, it must be ordered separately as part no. 136. Consult the component list in the InkMachines manual for clarification. What material is the motor washer made of? InkMachines motor washer no. 136 is manufactured from wear and corrosion-resistant metal material, treated to maintain mechanical properties throughout its service life. The material is selected to provide controlled flexibility and resistance to deformation under constant mounting pressure. How is the motor washer correctly installed? The motor washer is positioned between the motor and the mounting surface in the Scorpion X2 body. Ensure the washer is seated flat without tilting and that mounting screws are tightened evenly. Over-tightening can deform the washer while under-tightening allows vibration. Follow the recommended tightening torque.
