OUR MATERIAL PROCESS

INNOVATION Carbex develops and manufactures complete solutions around our carbon brushes. Our experience, expertise and personalized service enables us to provide our customers with: - Ability and opportunity to create value. - Safe in the knowledge that we can deliver complete. - Quality assured solutions with confidence of supply. Ensure that we as a company are at the forefront of all stages of all processes and developments.

CONTINUOUSLY ONGOING DEVELOPMENT….. Carbex has one of the most modern test laboratory facilities for the assessment, measurement and testing of carbon brushes. Research & Development SEM/EDX session with the head of our research department Dr. Helena Skoglund. Running tests Running tests In-house test facility enable us to analyze and evaluate operational parameters. Material analysis Carbex examine static material properties and parameters.

CONTINUOUSLY ONGOING DEVELOPMENT….. We conduct tests for our own research purposes and customer projects. In addition to our own R & D department, we also maintain well-developed co-operations with a number of universities. This provides us with the opportunity to perform very extensive tests. Running tests Running tests Material analysis Material analysis Environment Environment The performance of a carbon brush is In-house test facility enable us to analyze Carbex examine static material properties strongly dependent on the ambient and evaluate operational parameters. and parameters. environment. Especially the temperature and humidity have a great impact. It is as For instance: For instance: • Voltage drop important to collect and record climatic • Appearance • Electrical & mechanical wear data as running conditions and parameters • Content • Current per every individual brush as current, speed, voltage drop, • Homogeneity • Development & distribution of heat mechanical losses etc. Additionally we • Density • Ambient temperature and humidity have access to several climatic chambers • Porosity where we just not collect the data but • Hardness instead control the environment. Mechanical & characteristic properties : • Resistance • Effect of vibrations • Resistivity • Different cooling systems We have the possibility to simulate • Thermal expansion • Different brush pressures everything between extremely dry • Flexural strength • Brush holder solutions. climates (as 0.1 g H2O/m3) up to 90% RH, at various temperatures.

BRUSH HOLDERS

BRUSH HOLDERS Carbex provide a wide range of brush holders - from standard to custom made solutions. • Own designs with exclusive benefits. Standard • Brush holder fulfils an important function in the complete slip ring system. - Choice of spring system - Spring pressure - Angle of the brushes to the contact surface • The V-Type system - designed for optimal performance. Optimus V-Type

BRUSH HOLDER – V-TYPE The Carbex V-Type brush holder is superior and enhances your generator! • Designed, patented and optimized to suit the most common generators on the market. • Designed to attain balanced spring pressure and current distribution, as well as reduce wear and tear on the carbon brushes. Advantages of V-Type: - Equal force on all carbon brushes prevents uneven brush wear and tear - Open and space saving design provides optimal air cooling - Extends brush lifetime and reduced maintenance - Two to eight brushes per phase - Lower total weight - Integrated mechanical wear stop function or wear indicator as option
