Industrial Brushes Built for Demanding Industrial Applications
Industrial equipment relies on brushes that maintain stable current transfer and resist wear under continuous, heavy-duty operation. Performance must remain consistent across load, speed, temperature, and duty cycle demands.
Each of our industrial brushes can be custom-manufactured to your specific requirements. We develop our own proprietary grades and manufacture each product in-house, so we will work closely with you to find the right brush grade or develop new grades to optimize your product’s performance, reduce wear and decrease costly maintenance.
ENVIRONMENT, OPERATING CONDITIONS & APPLICATIONS
HIGH CONDUCTIVITY
Deliver consistently high conductivity, with material mixes adjusted to meet your specific electrical requirements.
SELF-LUBRICATING
Operate without external lubrication to support dry-running and sanitary industrial applications.
ANTI-WELDING/MELTING
Resist melting and welding at high temperatures to support longer equipment run times.
OXIDATION-RESISTANT
Resist oxidation and chemical degradation to maintain performance in harsh industrial environments.

Carbon Graphite Mechanical Seal Types
Rotating equipment often requires a dynamic mechanical seal to create a seal between a rotating shaft and a stationary body and prevent the escape of process fluid(s) including liquid and/or gas. They can also be used in mixer seals to prevent fugitive ambient particulates from entering a contained vessel being being mixed such as a pharmaceutical reaction…
Why Bearings Fail and How to Prevent It
All bearings have a fixed life expectancy. Some are replaced because of normal wear or spalling, and others need replacing because of premature wear or failure. An unexpected failure can cause damage to equipment, downtime, costly replacement, and possibly even injury. And, even before they fail, the premature wear is likely to have effects on performance …
Carbon Graphite Conductivity & Expansion
When deciding on the materials for carbon graphite components or parts, it all starts with a thorough review of the application which includes the components’ form/function/fit and property identifying the “must haves” and the “nice to haves” and melding these with a design for manufacturability. There are three important physical characteristics …
