Carbon Brush

Because of the sliding contact they make, motor brushes play an important part in flowing electric current between stationary and rotary parts. Brush performance greatly determines the performance of rotary equipment such as motors and generators, therefore brushes must be carefully selected. Toyo Tanso's brushes are active across a broad span of industry, centered primarily on small brushes for home appliances and power tools.
