Additional notes

The Leeson #M1900010.47 Carbon Brush for AMX 4 Motor 46-302161P1 is a carbon brush set that plays an essential part in the operation of electrical machines and/or motors. A carbon brush is a sliding contact used to transmit electrical current from a static to a rotating part in a motor or generator and in regard to DC machines, it ensures a spark-free commutation. A carbon brush can be made of one or more carbon blocks and can come with one or more shunts or terminals. A carbon brush has three operating parameters (mechanical, electrical, and physical/chemical environment). In mechanical parameter, a slip ring or commutator is attached to the rotating shaft. A spring is used to push the brush into the slip ring or commutator to maintain contact. Electrical current is transmitted from the rotating shaft via contact with the carbon brush. This operating parameter refers to the operating environment of the carbon brush, rather than to the brush itself, which can have a strong effect on carbon brush performance. The carbon brush is used in XR AMX 2, MR Signa HDe 1.5T, XR AMX 4, XR AMX 4+, XR Compax 40E, XR AMX 4, XM Senographe DS, XR Definium AMX 700, XF Precision 500D, XR Proteus, XV Innova 2000, XF Precision 500D and many other systems.
