Carbon Brush | Electric Brush Guide by CFCCARBON LTD

What is a Carbon Brush (Electric Brush)?
A carbon brush, also referred to as an electric brush, serves as a critical sliding contact component in electrical machinery. Designed to transmit energy or signals between stationary and rotating parts of motors, generators, and other rotating equipment, it is typically

composed of carbon combined with coagulants. These components are shaped into blocks or plates, mounted within a metal bracket with spring-loaded pressure to maintain consistent contact with rotating shafts. Widely recognized for their conductivity and durability, carbon brushes are indispensable in applications ranging from industrial motors to wind turbines. Learn more about their fundamentals here.
