Electric motor brushes, also known as carbon brushes, are crucial components of motors and generators because they act as electrical conductors. By transferring electricity between the motor's stationary and revolving wires, this is accomplished. One or more terminals or shunts as well as one or more carbon blocks may be present in a carbon brush. In a motor or generator, several carbon brushes are frequently used.
Different Carbon Brush Grades
Despite the fact that the initial brushes were made of copper, carbon gradually replaced copper as the material of choice for motor brushes due to its high contact resistance, low friction, and resistance to arcing.

This carbon brush was among the first, and it may be used on older, slower
