Carbon Brushes A Comprehensive Guide, for Industrial and Railway Technology Specifications • Installation • roubleshooting Carbon Brushes—Very Important Functional Parts of Carrying Current in Electrical Machines The name “brushes” comes from bundles of tiny copper wires, which were used as elastic contacts at the starting period of the electrical engineering industry. The term “carbon brush” appeared with the change to materials made out of graphite and carbon. Carbon brushes have been developed for several decades; they are also indispensable hardware for electrical machines in the microelectronic era. The production parameters permit a wide variation of the physical characteristics and the application possibilities. Following DIN EN60276 we subdivide our carbon brush grades into 5 main groups: • Electrographite brushes • etal graphite brushes • Resin bonded graphite brushes • Carbon graphite brushes • Graphite brushes Information in this handbook courtesy of E-Carbon Partner Pantrac GmbH, Berlin, Germany 2 Standards for carbon brushes, material and accessories Below are given the most important standards for industrial and traction carbon brushes.
