Patent ID: 11177716

Abstract:
A brush holder for electrical machines has a clamping piece with a first mounting part and a second clamping part, which when assembled define a clamping hole to be assembled around a spindle; and two brush holder arms pivotally mounted on the first mounting part of said clamping piece, and adapted to receive and retain a brush. The arms have an upper side which is opposite to a lower side facing a slip ring; at least one biasing spring to act upon said brush holder arms in such a way that said brush holder arms move pivotally towards and presses said brushes against the slip ring. A conductive wire connects the brush to the clamping piece. A brush holder arm locking mechanism is adapted to be inserted into a slot in the second clamping part. A brush locking pin retains the brush in said brush holder arm and provided in corresponding bores arranged in the brush holder arm and the brush. The brush locking pin has a pipe portion and a spring portion arranged inside the pipe and that protrudes from a slot in a wall of said pipe. The mounting part of said clamping piece is provided with a brush arm stop to limit a pivot movement of the brush holder arm towards a slip ring.
