CARBON BRUSHES FOR DC MOTORS

Mersen offers a wide range of electrographitic brushes, particularly adapted to DC motors (of which globally renowned EG34D grades).

CARBON BRUSHES FOR DC MOTORS
Electrographitic grades are prepared from carbon powders and coke; they are then subjected to high temperature thermal treatments (>2500 °C) to transform the basic amorphous carbon into artificial graphite.
