INGCO S-DB-CBR-PDB15- Demolition Breaker-Carbon Brush

Product details:

A INGCO S-DB-CBR-PDB15- Demolition Breaker Carbon Brush , also known as a motor brush or a brush contact, is a small block of carbon or graphite used in electric motors and generators. It acts as a conductor that transfers electrical current between the stationary and rotating parts of the machine.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of carbon brushes:

Function:

• The primary function of a carbon brush is to bridge the gap between the stationary stator (which houses the windings) and the rotating rotor (also known as the armature) of a motor or generator.
• Current from the power source flows through the stator windings, creating a magnetic field. This magnetic field interacts with the magnetic field of the rotor, causing it to spin.
• However, the rotor needs a continuous flow of electricity to maintain its magnetic field. This is where the carbon brushes come in.
• The brushes make contact with a rotating commutator on the rotor.
• As the rotor spins, the brushes slide against the commutator, transferring the electrical current from the stator windings to the commutator and ultimately to the rotor windings.
• This continuous flow of electricity allows the rotor to maintain its magnetic field and keep the motor spinning.

Components:

• A carbon brush typically consists of two main parts:
  • Brush body: This is the main body of the brush, usually made of carbon or graphite. These materials are chosen for their conductive properties while being relatively soft to maintain good contact with the commutator.
  • Spring and brush holder: The brush is held in place by a spring-loaded mechanism that ensures constant contact with the commutator despite wear and tear. The spring also applies the necessary pressure for good electrical connection.
  • Copper braid (optional): Some brushes may have a copper braid attached to the body. This braid connects the brush to the motor’s wiring, providing a more robust electrical connection.
