Failures in electric motors due to brush wear
Electric motors are essential in industry and at home. One of their most important components is the brushes, which are responsible for transmitting current. Understanding the types of brushes and their applications helps improve efficiency and extend the motor's lifespan.

Brush (electric)
A brush or carbon brush is an electrical contact, often made from specially prepared carbon, which conducts current between stationary and rotating parts (the latter most commonly being a rotating shaft) of an electrical machine.[1]
