Description

This General Electric 36A171014AAP11 carbon brush (aftermarket reference Repco REP558W) is a direct replacement for GE brushed DC machines, with OEM fitment on the GE 5CD362, 5CD363, 5CD372 and 5CD373 motor series — commonly used in paper-mill and extruder drive applications. The brush is supplied as a two-wafer assembly, each wafer pressed from electrographite (Morgan grade T559). The material delivers low electrical loss, medium contact drop and stable film formation, giving reliable commutation and even wear in continuous industrial duty.

Features & benefits:

  • OEM-matched 2-wafer configuration — per-wafer 1.25" × 1" × 2.625" (31.75 × 25.4 × 66.7 mm), drop-in fit for GE 5CD362/363/372/373 brush holders.
  • Electrographite material, Morgan grade T559 — low electrical loss, medium contact drop, low-to-medium friction, suitable for higher peripheral speeds.
  • 4" flexible copper shunts — tinned braided leads with terminals for reliable, balanced current sharing.
  • Cross-referenced part numbers — GE 36A171014AAP11, Repco REP558W; fitment on GE 5CD362/363/372/373 series.
  • Typical applications — paper-mill and extruder DC drives.
  • Quality-inspected before dispatch: wafer dimensional check, lead crimp integrity, and surface condition per batch.
