How to judge that the carbon brush is broken in a brushed motor?

The carbon brush is a device that transmits energy or signals between the fixed part and the rotating part of the motor or generator or other rotating machinery. When the motor rotates, the electric energy is transmitted to the coil through the commutator.So how do we judge the quality of carbon brushes? Let me introduce the Vshida micro-motor to you.

In the first case, the spark is large, and the contact surface of the carbon brush in contact with the rotor is burnt, remove it and wipe it off with sandpaper. In the case of large sparks, it may also be that the copper on the rotor converter is used up, the short-circuit sparks are large, and the conductivity decreases. Or it will not turn, indicating that the carbon brush is used up.

The second case, neither of the above two cases, is the spring-type carbon brush. The pressure of the single spring is insufficient, resulting in a loose contact between the carbon brush and the rotor and a large short-circuit spark. It is necessary to remove the copper wire of the carbon brush and add 2 springs.

In the third case, the copper sheet on the carbon brush, and the copper sheet without a clamping position is in use, and the copper sheet rotates, causing the upper copper wire to be tightened, and the carbon brush cannot be in close contact with the rotor. The spark is large and the power is small, so it needs to be removed and shaken off. (It is recommended to buy a built-in carbon brush machine. The coil spring carbon brush machine is better, with good electrical conductivity, and it is not easy to burn the rotor and burn the carbon brush. I am not sure about the brushless machine.)

The impact of broken carbon brushes on performance: If the copper sheet that is not replaced in time will damage the rotor, it will also lead to poor contact during operation, which is not good for the coil, and the strength of the machine will become smaller. The machine will heat up and reduce the service life.
