Industrial carbon brushes

Description of industrial carbon brushes

Industrial carbon brushes still have an extensive field of application on big and medium commutator machines with high electrical, thermique and mechanical duties. The range includes commutator equipment, slipring rotors, and other diversest current transmission systems.

The base is a wide product assortment of carbon grades of variable compositions. Thus different specific resistances, specific densities, hardness- and load conditions can be realized.

All these parameters obtained, allow an adaption of carbon brush grade to the needs of the motor-manufacturers and designers. Diversified application and field of operation determine the dimensions and shapes of our industrial carbon brushes.

Special features and services

Industrial carbon brushess continue to be used extensively on large and medium-sized power converting machines with high electrical, thermal and mechanical loads. The range includes machines with collectors, slip ring rotors and a wide variety of power transmission systems.

The basis is a wide range of carbon materials with different compositions. This allows various specific resistances, densities, hardness values and load values to be realised. All these parameters make it possible to customise the carbon quality to the requirements of engine manufacturers and designers. A wide variety of applications and areas of use determine the dimensions and designs of our industrial carbons.
