carbon brush raw materials-copper
Apprentice

Metal Graphite

This main raw material used for this class of brushes are electrolytic copper powder and graphite. According to the needs of users, powders of silver, lead and other metals may also be employed.
This class of brushes applicable to low voltage electrical machines with
heavy load and ordinary requirements of commutation. Generally, the peripheral speed should not exceed 30 m/s.

Heritage

This class of brushes consist of various kinds of carbon powders such as carbon black, coke, graphite and so on. They must undergo high
temperature treatment at about 2500℃ to make all kinds of carbonic material convert to a micro-rystalline form of artificial graphite. This class of brushes have excellent characteristic of commutating and self- lubricating, widely applied to all kinds of AC and DC motors with the advantage of long service life and less wear ability of the commutators.

Classical

Natural Graphite

The natural graphite is main raw material of this class of brushes. Here, pitch and resin are used binders.They are baked at about 1000℃. This class of brushes are provided with better lubricating and current- collecting performance. The natural graphite brushes are respectively used with the slip rings of small and medium size DC motor and high speed turbo-generators under steady applications.

Apprentice

Resin Bonded Graphite

This main raw material used for this
class of brushes are artificial graphite
powder. Pitch and resin are used
binders.
This class of brushes applicable to
power tools and home appliance.
