Carbon brushes for slow-speed turbines​

For slow-speed hydro turbines, Carbex provides carbon brushes ranging from standard designs to customengineered solutions delivering superior performance. Our portfolio includes low-friction graphite and copper materials with high electrical conductivity and low resistivity, suitable for speed ranges of 15 to 55 m/s.

Given that hydro power facilities are often geographically dispersed, many customers choose to implement the Carbex i-BRUSH monitoring system to enable secure, remote operational data collection. This supports reduced downtime and lower maintenance costs. Backed by a technically skilled team, Carbex also offers the capability to re-engineer existing solutions, delivering significant operational value to our customers.
