INGCO S-AG-CBR-AG20007 Angle Grinder-Carbon Brush

In an angle grinder, the INGCO S-AG-CBR-AG20007 Carbon Brush  is essential component that transfer electrical current from the motor’s stationary housing to the rotating armature. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

Description:

• Material: Made from a conductive material  a carbon-graphite mix. This material balances conductivity with hardness to minimize wear.
• Shape: Typically rectangular blocks with spring contacts on one end.
• Location: Housed within the angle grinder’s brush holders, which make contact with the rotating armature.

Components (Simple):

• Carbon block: The conductive core responsible for current transfer.
• Spring contacts: Metal springs that maintain contact between the brush and the armature.

How it Works:

1. Electrical Connection: The carbon brush receives electrical current from the power cord through the brush holder.
2. Friction Contact: The spring pushes the carbon block against the rotating armature of the motor.
3. Current Transfer: As the armature spins, the carbon brush makes continuous contact, transferring electrical current to the armature windings.
4. Motor Activation: The transferred current energizes the armature windings, creating a magnetic field that interacts with the motor’s permanent magnets, causing the armature to rotate. This rotation is then transmitted via gears to the grinding spindle and ultimately the grinding wheel.

Applications & Uses:

By facilitating current transfer, carbon brushes contribute to the overall functionality of the angle grinder, enabling it to perform various tasks such as:

• • Metal Grinding: Cutting, smoothing, and shaping metal surfaces.
  • Stone Grinding: Smoothing and shaping stone surfaces like concrete or granite.
  • Tile Cutting: Cutting ceramic tiles for construction or renovation projects.
  • Rust Removal: Removing rust from metal surfaces.
  • Paint Removal: Stripping paint layers from various surfaces.
