Carbon Brushes
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.
