        Before                                              After

Here we have replaced the clear glass filled laminated base pressing, with a class 'F', UL approved 50% glass filled moulded nylon material.
Moulded side shields electrically insulate the brush shunt from the casting.
The moulded base provides high impact and additional strength.
The old style brass brush holder pressings, have been replaced with broached, gold anodised aluminium brush holders, anodised to Grade AA20, riveted onto the moulded base.
The brush holder tunnel sections are broached to provide very accurate brush guides.
Heat dissipation away from the carbon brush is greatly improved.
Integrated moulded alignment pips provide exceptional brush holder alignment, by mould design.
Variable pressure coil springs have been replaced with constant force saddle springs, giving approximately 50% more brush life.
The commutation is greatly increased, also leading to greater brush life.
