  • Electrically-powered motors have evolved into having smaller size, larger capacity and higher output.
  • motors used for electric vacuum cleaners are required to be of smaller size and higher sucking force. Therefore, the external diameters of motor's fans are reduced, the motors are rotated at ultra-high speed (30,000 rpm or more) .
  • ultra-high speed 30,000 rpm or more
  • an important challenge is to maintain a better electrical contact by keeping a good sliding condition between an electromechanical carbon brush (hereinafter referred to as a brush) and a commutator which is a conductive rotating body.
  • resin bonded brushes which are graphite powder bonded by synthetic resins.
  • resin bonded brushes better electrical contact is ensured by the graphite powder providing better sliding performances and by the resins providing better riding conditions.
  • a current density of a brush can be made higher by increasing input power to the motor.
  • bad rectification can be generated by being increased temperature of the brush or by being increased wear of the brush due to prolonged usage.
  • the strongly desired brush has been a brush which can ensure stable rectification and which can provide higher efficiency (output relative to input) to a motor.
  • Patent Document 1 discloses a method for partially reducing specific resistance of a brush by plating a brush surface with metal, such as copper.
  • metal such as copper.

  • Patent Document 2 discloses a method for improving wear characteristics of a brush by impregnating pores of the brush with silicone oil. In this method, by improving sliding performance between the brush and the commutator, the temperature of the brush is prevented from rising and the wear of the brush is reduced.
  • the present invention was conceived in view of these situations and an object thereof is to provide an electromechanical carbon brush which ensures more stable rectification and which can achieve higher efficiency for the motor, a longer life, a reduced temperature, suppressed sliding noises and reduced wear of the commutator.
