Carbon
brushes are electromechanical accomplish devices that connect to moving parts
to offer an electric current. They are usually used in motors, alternators and
generators. Many carbon brush uses subsist, but the 3 vital uses are in
household applications that run on AC, automotive applications that run on DC
and industrial applications that run on both DC and AC.
Household
Carbon brushes are a general product in
household appliances such as gardening equipment, power tools and office
equipment. Vacuum cleaner turbines, hair and hand dryers, and washing and
drying machines are too common applications of this type of carbon brush, which
is usually much smaller than its industrial or automotive equivalent. Micro-carbon
brushes, such as, are precision parts designed for toys, electric razors, video
and audio and video equipment. In such small dimensions, carbon brushes are frequently
placed inside tiny battery-operated mini-motors designed to broadcast power
silently and with the least amount of friction to moving parts such as wheels
and razors.
Automotive
Cars
usually use small and secondary carbon brushes for DC motors, starters as well
alternators. Alternators are devices that exchange mechanical energy to
electrical energy. They consist of a wire-coiled rotor that produces an attractive
field when a current runs through it. Automotive carbon brushes are used to deliver
the current to the wire coil in the alternator. Automotive carbon brushes can be found in most passenger vehicles, trucks,
motorcycles, and oil- and diesel-fueled cars. Even smaller, particularly
designed carbon brushes are used in steering wheels and links for airbags.
Industrial
Einhell Carbon Brushes are used on
large commutator machines, in which the current among the rotor and external
circuit is sometimes reversed. These comprise AC and DC motors, slipring
rotors, traction motors, windmills, turbo generators, hydro power stations and
steel, cement and paper mills. These brushes also can be used to power
battery-driven cars, trolley buses and cable cars, and they are often used in
construction vehicles for example forklift trucks and cranes. Brushes connect
the generator to the rotor throughout the commutator, which has copper segments.
The brushes bear the brunt of wear and tear among the rotating rotor and the
non-moving generator while conducting electricity among them. Industrial
brushes are specifically designed to withstand extreme temperatures.
