Electrographite products

Semimanufactured electrographite, having EGR symbol, is a material for collecting brushes with medim alling voltage, at the brush-collector contact exist a low or medium friction coefficient so that are running with low losses. Electrographite brushes equip all modern stationery or of speed traction machines, having low, medium or high voltage, in constant or variable electric current. Electrographite materials are manufactured in various qualities like EGR-3, EGR-4, EGR-5, EGR-8, EGR-9, EGR-10, EGR-12, EGR-14, EGR-16, EGR-18, EGR-19, EGR-20, and EGR-23.

Electrographite brushes are generally use for c.c. stationary from industrial equipments, technological machines by siderurgical industry, textiles, paper and celulose coutchouk manufacturing, servomotors with axial interfer and for cilindrical rotors, at electric universal motors. In domain of the electrical traction, electrographite brushes are used to equip electrical auxiliary machines from electrical diesel locomotive and for vous railwai and to equip motors of urban traction (trans and buses).

Phisical characteristics of the electrographite materials could be determined using a tubes of sizes 4x8x32 mm or 10x10x64 mm according to STAS 10223/1-75. Fuctional characteristics: falling voltage, friction coefficient and middle wear speed values are determinated in laboratory conditions on two pieces of testing brushes on sizes
12,5x25x40 mm according to STAS 10223/3-84. For the folling voltages, friction coefficient and medium wear speed values (point 6,7 and 8) are necesary the following conventional conditions of testing:
