Carbon brushes are a type of electrical contact that conducts a current between the stationary and moving parts of the motor. They are located in above the slip ring. Carbon Brushes are used for electric motors and generators.

The above list of manufacturers is not our complete listing. Over time, Repco has accumulated an extensive cross-reference file which contains thousands of catalog numbers, matching hundreds of motor and generator manufacturers and their carbon brushes. If you do not see the manufacturer you're looking for, try searching for your motor or generator carbon brush.
The search mechanism is precise. It is not a wildcard or partial number search. Contingencies have been put into place that allow for minor variations, however, the complete catalog number is necessary. Therefore, if after the second attempt the system does not find a match, please call 800-822-9190 or email us through the Contact Us page. In rare instances a sample may be required for accurate identification.
