Electrical carbon brushes create a conductive connection between fixed electrical wiring and a rotating commutator or slip ring. The brush gradually wears during normal operation and should be inspected regularly to maintain dependable equipment performance and prevent damage to associated electrical components.
Using the correct brush dimensions, material grade and terminal arrangement can help reduce uneven wear, excessive arcing and damage to the rotating contact surface. During replacement, the brush holder, spring pressure, flexible lead and commutator or slip ring should also be checked for contamination, scoring or mechanical damage.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electric motors.
- AC and DC generators.
- Alternators and rotating power equipment.
- Manufacturing and processing machinery.
- Material handling equipment.
- Industrial maintenance and repair operations.
