Carbon Brush Maintenance Guide
The service life and performance of power tools are closely related to the selection, installation and maintenance of carbon brushes. Therefore, the maintenance of carbon brushes is also very important.
First of all, we should choose suitable and high-quality carbon brushes. Different manufacturers, different models or specifications of power tools use different carbon brushes. When choosing carbon brushes, it is recommended that users choose carbon brushes with brand advantages and quality assurance. So what are the advantages of high-quality carbon brushes?
A. Long service life
High-quality carbon brushes are made of high-quality materials with high wear resistance and high hardness, which can effectively reduce wear and friction, thereby extending service life. Compared with ordinary carbon brushes, high-quality carbon brushes have a longer service life.
B. Small electric shock
High-quality carbon brushes have the characteristics of small electric shock during operation. This is mainly due to its high surface flatness and large contact area with the armature, which makes the current flow smoother, thereby reducing current noise and improving the operating efficiency of the motor.
C. Low energy consumption
High-quality carbon brushes have low resistance values and small losses when current passes through, which can reduce the power of the motor and reduce the energy consumption of the motor. This will have a great cost saving effect for application scenarios that require frequent motor operation.
D. Strong stability
High-quality carbon brushes are made of high-quality materials, which can ensure the stability of the carbon brush and avoid problems such as loosening and breakage of the carbon brush during operation. This not only extends the service life of the motor, but also improves the operating stability of the motor.
So in addition to choosing high-quality carbon brushes, in what else aspects do we better to maintain carbon brushes?
1. Install correctly
Carbon brush installation methods are different. Choose the correct installation method according to the structure of the power tool itself. Pay attention to the installation direction and position to ensure correct installation and avoid damage to the power tool.
2. Regular cleaning
During use of power tools, dust and debris will be generated, which will enter between the carbon brush and the brush contact surface, causing the carbon brush to wear out too quickly. Regular cleaning can reduce the wear of carbon brushes. It is recommended to clean the power tool housing and internal parts after each use. When cleaning, you should first disassemble the machine, clean all parts with a soft brush, and then wipe clean with a clean rag.
3. Regular inspection
Regularly check whether the carbon brush is worn too fast. It is recommended to check it every three months and replace it in time if necessary.
4. Avoid overload operation
Overload operation will cause the heat of the power tool motor to increase, which will accelerate the wear of the carbon brushes and cause power tool failure.
The above are the maintenance methods of carbon brushes. Correct maintenance of carbon brushes can slow down the wear of carbon brushes and extend the service life and use effect of carbon brushes and power tools.
