• Function:
Carbon brushes are essential components in electric motors, particularly in power tools like angle grinders or rotary hammers, where they facilitate the transfer of electrical current to the rotating armature or commutator.
• Material:
These brushes are typically made from durable materials like graphite and copper, which offer excellent conductivity and wear resistance.
• Wear Item:
Carbon brushes are wear items, meaning they gradually wear down due to friction during operation and eventually require replacement to maintain motor performance and prevent damage.
• Features:
They possess self-lubricating properties due to their layered crystal structure, which helps reduce friction and enhance abrasion resistance.
