Carbex delivers a complete range of carbon brush holders – from proven standard models to fully customized solutions tailored to your exact needs.
With decades of expertise, we understand the critical demands placed on carbon brush holders when it comes to both design and performance — especially in combination with the carbon brush itself — to achieve maximum efficiency and reliability.
Many of our holders are developed in-house, featuring unique, intelligent designs you won’t find anywhere else on the market. At Carbex, we research, develop, test, and verify every material and design to ensure unmatched quality. This commitment makes us a forward-thinking, innovative partner at the forefront of power and signal transmission technology.
Carbex offers a range of carbon brush holders for the Wind Power sector, including power, grounding, pitching and lightning protection.

V-Type is a carbon brush holder designed to attain balanced spring pressure, current distribution and reduced carbon brush wear. We have achieved this by using a main spring for all the brushes in the same phase and ensuring the angle to the slip ring is always 90°. This allows for adjustment of the angle of the pressure fingers to compensate for the spring’s various properties and the carbon brush’s actual weight when the brush is worn down.
The V-Type carbon brush holder also has a pressure plate that distributes the pressure. It also eliminates conductors in the carbon brushes from coming into contact with the slip ring when the brushes are worn down.
A carbon brush is not homogenous but pressed with a specific density that results in small variations of brush wear. To solve this, the V-type is equipped with compensation springs for each individual carbon brush.
A carbon brush behaves differently in different application environments. In particular, the temperature and humidity have a significant impact. It is equally important to collect and record climatic data such as operating conditions and also parameters such as power current, speed, voltage drop and mechanical losses, which are important when selecting carbon brush grades. Carbex also has access to many climatic chambers where we collect the data and control the ambient environments. We have the possibility to simulate everything from extremely arid climates (i.e. 0.1 g H2O / m3) up to 90% RH (Relative Humidity) at various temperatures.
Safe and cost-effective solutions within power and signal transmission are our driving force. Countless hours have been dedicated to developing unique carbon brush holder solutions and we continue to do this with our customers. We are proud to be seen as a ”difference-maker” for customers who need our skills and solutions.
Our engineers and designers swiftly draw up drawings and prototypes for testing, evaluation and end product assessment and approval.
