The
use of workzone and JCB carbon brushes is increasing rapidly in the motors
instead of copper and other fiber material brushes. The carbon brush is placed
in the motor at a place that helps the transmission of current from static to
dynamic part of the generator or motor.Here
are some of the benefits of using carbon brushes over other materials.
The
carbon material has the highest melting point than copper and other fiber
materials. It can sustain the motor temperature of about 3550 degrees Celsius
that is the melting point of carbon. The copper has a melting point of only
1080 degrees Celsius. The workzone carbon brushes are
placed right next to the commutator of the Dc motor. It experiences friction
and spark in that area. Therefore, the high melting point becomes the prime
reason for using carbon brushes over other materials.
Carbon metal is soft
The
softness of the carbon brush makes it perfect for use amidst the commutator.
Due to the rotating speed of the motor, the brushes will not damage the
commutator due to its soft property. The copper material is very hard in
nature, and it might damage the commutator with the implementation of copper
brushes.
Elasticity property
The JCB carbon brushes have
high elasticity property that helps it attain the shape of the commutator
during the functioning of the motor. Even if the brush is new, it will acquire
the shape of the commutator in no time.
These
are a few of the advantages or benefits of using carbon brushes over copper and
other fiber materials. These are mainly used in different machines for
transmitting the electricity from static parts to the dynamic rotating part of
the generator, motor, or other DC machines.
