Cortem® conductive springs combine the strength and high temperature properties of steel with the conductivity of copper, providing an efficient brush spring and a functional current conductor.
- In many applications, eliminates need for a shunt
- In others, provides a parallel conductor to shunt for maximum reliability
- Increases brush performance by 20 to 30 percent
- Manufactured from copperclad 17-7 PH stainless wire
- Provides excellent mechanical and electrical properties
- Available in a wide range of wire sizes, spring dimensions and configurations
- Available in two conductivities:
- 30 percent and 40 percent
- Utilizes CortiteTM construction in attaching spring to brush
- Insertion of spring into hole in head of brush
- Prevents brush head from loosening
- Usable brush length is extended by depth of the hole
- CortiteTM spring/brush assembly can be automated vs. hand assembly
- Toledo Commutator Company can custom design springs to fit operating parameters
