Mersen is a global leader in combining engineering and supply of equipment for corrosive fluids.
Since 1950, Mersen has strengthened its know-how and expertise in the use of HCl and H2SO4 and is capable to predict how those acids react, depending on pressure and temperature.
The first skid-mounted project was successfully delivered in 1986. Since then, in excess of 70 projects have been completed "on time, on budget and producing to specification"
A carbon brush is a component used to transmit electrical current from the static to the rotating part in a motor or generator.
The choice of a carbon brush is important to ensure a spark-free commutation with the best brush life.
Carbon brushes are maintained by brush-holders to be in permanent contact with the slip ring assembly or with the commutator. Mersen offers a wide range of carbon brushes for all types of motors, generators and alternators, grounding devices and current and signal transmission.
Our local expert network can support you in the choice of the appropriate brushes for the best performance of your machines thanks to our wide range of grades and designs.
Our standard production range meets the requirements of international standards (ISO9001, IEC, NEMA, DIN).

A laminated bus bar is an engineered component consisting of layers of fabricated copper separated by thin dielectric materials, laminated into a unified structure.
MERSEN BUS BARS OFFER MANY ADVANTAGES:
Bus bars reduce system costs. A laminated bus bar will lower manufacturing costs by decreasing assembly time as well as internal material handling costs.
Bus bars increase capacitance. Increased capacitance results in decreasing characteristic impedance. This will ultimately lead to greater effective signal suppression and noise elimination.
Bus bars lower inductance. The use of thin parallel conductors with a thin dielectric laminated together minimizes the effect of inductance on electrical circuits.
GRAPHILOR®, THE ULTIMATE MECHANICAL AND CORROSION RESISTANT GRAPHITE :
Graphilor®’s use of ultra-fine grain isostatic graphite, is a unique material for the chemical industry, with the highest mechanical resistance and temperature resistance (up to 430°C) and 3 different impregnation types (Phenolic Resin XBS, Carbon XC and PTFE XTH)
