Description

Overview

Carbon brush holders purpose-built for DC motors — holding the brush against the commutator and keeping stable, low-spark contact under load. Manufactured in brass, copper alloy and bronze for conductivity and durability, with spring-loaded brush pressure and insulated mounting.

Construction

  • Brass / copper alloy / bronze holder body
  • Spring-loaded brush pressure (coil/torsion, constant force)
  • Brush box with fixing (slot/screw/quick-change per design)
  • Insulating components for frame isolation
  • Mounts to the brush rocker / end bracket

Typical Applications

  • Industrial DC motors (Z4-class and equivalents)
  • DC traction / mill motors (ZQ-series brush gear)
  • Universal DC motors and power tools
  • DC generators (commutator brush rigging)

Installation Notes

  • Match brush box opening (W × T) exactly to your brush cross-section
  • Brush must move freely in the box; remove excess that causes sticking
  • Spring must press on the brush center to avoid uneven wear
  • Brush-to-commutator contact area ≥ 3/4 of the face

Before Ordering

  • Confirm brush box size (W × T) and brush dimensions
  • Confirm spring type/force and mounting pattern
  • Confirm number of holders per motor and brush lead routing
