Electrical Brushes and Brush Materials

About Electrical Brushes and Brush Materials

Electrical brushes and brush materials are used in conjunction with slip rings, commutators or other contact surfaces to maintain an electrical connection in rotary and linear sliding contact applications. Electrical brushes and brush materials require very good frictional characteristics combined with high to moderate conductivity. Graphite brush materials are used for high power equipment. Metal brushes or sliding contacts are used for signal or low power applications.


Products & Services Related to Electrical Brushes and Brush Materials

EDM Electrode Materials
EDM electrode materials and components consist of highly conductivity and/or arc erosion resistant materials such as graphite, copper or copper graphite.
Electrical Contact and Electrode Materials
Electrical contact and electrode materials are soft, high conductivity, oxidation resistant materials used in circuit breakers, relays, and for EDM applications.
Electrical Contacts and Contact Materials
Electrical contacts and contact materials are soft, high-conductivity, oxidation- resistant materials that are used in circuit breakers, relays, switches, and electrical discharge machining (EDM) applications.  They often have a second phase in order to provide anti-welding and/or arc resistance.
