Additional notes

The Small Signal Brush - Type 1 Material CAg is designed for use with rotating medical equipment or motors. A carbon brush helps to conduct electrical current between the stationary wires (stator) and the rotating wires (rotor) of a motor or generator. The contact is colored red for identification and wire inside the spring is made of copper which offers very good conductivity. The high quality CAg (93% Silver and 7% Carbon) tip performs effectively at high voltages, high current densities and high speeds. This signal brush tip can be used in the assemblies of Optima 660, Optima 540, VCT, Lightspeed RT, Lightspeed Pro 16, Discovery 750 HD, Lightspeed 16, Lightspeed Ultra, HiSpeed Qxi, Lightspeed Plus, Lightspeed QXi, Discovery ST and Discovery 670 systems.
