Motor Brush Springs
Electric motor manufacturers need high quality and long lasting motor brush springs to make their applications work properly and consistently. These springs are used to push a brush against the commutator in an electric motor and are a welcome alternative to round wire springs. At Vulcan Spring, our Constant Force motor brush springs give constant pressure to the brush allowing the motor to run longer and enabling your design to have the exact pressure for the motor’s entire life. With a Conforce® motor brush spring, you’ll add hours of operation to your motor or generator.
