Company news

Carbex & Helwig Carbon Products launch strategic partnership

A new partnership between Carbex and Helwig Carbon Products strengthens North American aftermarket operations for the i-BRUSH monitoring system and expands local manufacturing and service capabilities.
Monitoring

Performance you can trust. Results you can measure.

In wind energy, reliability isn’t optional—it’s critical. Every unplanned stop leads to lost revenue, increased maintenance costs, and operational uncertainty. i-BRUSH Connect changes that.
Sustainability

Powered by renewable electricity

At Carbex, sustainability is an integral part of how we operate and develop our business. As part of our commitment to reducing our environmental impact, all electricity used in our operations is sourced from 100% renewable electricity through certified suppliers.
Monitoring

Boost Reliability in Your Hydropower Plant

Small and medium-sized hydropower plants are under growing pressure to deliver consistent, efficient, and cost-effective energy, often with limited resources in terms of time, personnel, and maintenance capacity.
Case

Early detection prevents unplanned downtime at a paper mill

At a paper mill in the United States, an operator had been running i-BRUSH on a large motor for over a year. During normal operation, the system began to register a gradual increase in current spikes—an early indication that conditions in the brush–ring interface were starting to change.
