The Current Transmission business unit at Schunk Graphite Technology, Booth 10342, produces flexible power connections and holders for manufacturers of wind turbine electrical equipment and transformer substations. Among that equipment are brush yokes and carbon brushes, their holders, flexible current connections, brush rockers, and more.
Carbon brushes have a high percent of metal to provide near perfect current transmission, even under the toughest operating conditions. Different models of brush holders and rockers are available along with the capability for custom made and specialized products. Lastly, all brush rocker components are manufactured in accordance with specific assembly templates. This ensures an exact fit of brush to collector.
