Hi Daox,
Brush wear is proportional to brush current, and other things. For HP size motors brush wear with no current is about 5% as fast as at continuous rated power. If the motor is pushed (unpowered) all the time it is a problem, but if you power the motor half the time brush wear won't be much faster than usual.
