Cleaning Commutator and Slip Ring Surfaces with a Brush

  • April 2025
  • Number of views: 101
Article

When there is a need for cleaning the contact surfaces of commutators and slip rings with brushes, emery cloth with aluminum oxide is NOT recommended, as conductive abrasive particles will cause arcing and damage to the surface. Many times, stone cleaning, garnet paper and machining are not a convenient, sufficient, or cost-effective option for machines as the priority is to keep the downtime to a minimum. This is when the carbon brush can be designed to clean up the contact surface.

Article

When working with DC machines, it’s not uncommon to find a customer who runs different products requiring a range of armature current. Unlike other conductors, where lower current is a good thing, carbon brushes are designed for a narrow range of current density. A unique aspect of carbon brush life is that brushes operating at a much lower current density than they are designed for do not last nearly as long as expected.
