Carbon brush holders and assemblies

Components for efficient and reliable current transmission



Carbon brush holders ensure that the carbon brushes are held securely in position. With a defined contact pressure, the holder ensures that the required current transmission can be provided and that at the same time there is the best possible balance to the necessary wear of the brush. In its respective application, the design of the holder ensures that the running behavior of the brush is perfected. Carbon brush holders and brush holder systems from Schunk are available in many different types and designs - always perfectly matched to your application.
