Safe current transmission during wire annealing
Specialising in the manufacture of high-quality products and materials for electric current transmission, Schunk Kohlenstofftechnik GmbH, Germany, offers a wide range of products made of carbon, graphite and metals with good electrical, thermal conductivity, as well as high-temperature resistance. The company has developed sturdy brush holder designs and adapted carbon brush materials for safe current transmission during wire annealing. High rates of current rise, no-load (idling) phases, light load operation, aggressive gases and vapours, ambient temperatures and high humidity are some of the extreme requirements involved in this respect.
Brush holders, brush rockers and carbon brushes are used on DC-drives for wire drawing machines and extruders, ensuring operation free of interruptions. Schunk materials are specially developed to meet the extreme requirements encountered in the wire industry, namely positive commutation, running behaviour which reduces the stress on commutators, low abrasive wear and minimal service requirements. In addition, the company provides components for current transmission through carbon current rings on wire stranding machines, ensuring interference-free operation even at high-peripheral speeds and under any load. Schunk flexible connectors and leads are used for establishing the electrical connection between mechanically-separated components. Preference is given to flexible connectors for wire stranding units during wire finishing.
