  • Hi guys I created this video to try to answer the question of “how a copper wire is attached to the carbon brush” and “can you attach a copper wire back to the carbon brush” I hope this video will be useful to you guys. If you have questions or comments or suggestions please feel free to comment down below. Thanks!

    If you mix some of the powder graphite into the epoxy, it should help the conductivity.

    jake, thanks for taking the time to post this very, very helpful bit of research. i’m trying to help a sweet older lady in the neighborhood fix her very bizarre pottery wheel and this should/could do the trick! thank you again from atlanta, georgia 🎉🎉🎉

    YEAH!!! make your own brushes.. this is awesome. this is exactly the kind of information i needed.
    turned out the motor for my car aerial brushes are no longer available. this is a practical means to keep it running with original gear.
    thank you very much for the research and posting your findings.

    This is a very good video on making motor brushes for the handyman. Instead of just using super glue how about a mix of super glue and carbon or graphite dust ??? I have had luck with this method years ago. Do not remember if the dust type or should I say hacksaw shaving mixed with the glue. For some reason the reaction with isocyanate adhesive made things hot you could smell it Jake. Did not fail when I tested the bond on brushes including heating part of the experiment. That is all I remember Sir.
    Keep on making great videos fealla too.

    Thanks for presenting some alternatives.. I suck at soldering, so it was good to see that soldering just isn't a very good way to do this. Epoxy it is!

    You can also try phosphoric acid 85%. I use it to solder 18650 batteries with wires. But I am not sure how it will work with graphite.

    This is great. Can one solder the wire from the brush to the brass cartridge the carbon brush is housed in?

    • @JakeMarvinVillegas
      @JakeMarvinVillegas  Před 11 měsíci

      Good day sir, yes you can do that but it makes replacement a little bit difficult as you need to remove the solder before replacing the carbon brush

  • @JelloGlass
    @JelloGlass Před rokem +1

    hey have you tried polishing or sanding off a coating of the wire ends before soldering it in ? also, maybe they also add a small metal tubing or something

    • @JakeMarvinVillegas
      @JakeMarvinVillegas  Před rokem +1

      Good day sir, nope I havent tried it yet. But thanks for the info, it may increase the conductivity and bond to the carbon

      There is no need of graphite Powder in epoxy... because steel spring contact with carbon....carry the current 😊

    I need to fix an abs pump for my Honda Fit/Jazz, due to age (2008), I couldn't find any carbon brushes... If I buy some good quality carbon brushes (ex.makita), could I attache the copper wires to each other instead of attaching the wire to the copper brush? Thank you.

    • @Derek_Garnham
      @Derek_Garnham Před měsícem

      I wonder if it is to stop the brush working when it gets too small. this way the brush does not disintegrate in use when it gets real small and smashes itself up as it is jammed against the spinning commutator

  • @jozefbubez6116
    @jozefbubez6116 Před 5 měsíci +1

    I don't know how it is actually done but maybe you place the wire in the hole and copper-plate using copper sulphate?

    • @JakeMarvinVillegas
      @JakeMarvinVillegas  Před 2 měsíci

      You mean sir that blue colored copper sulfate? I think it is used in pesticides

    • @jozefbubez6116
      @jozefbubez6116 Před 2 měsíci +1

      Correct, my friend except here in olde England we spell it copper sulphate. I really don't know the commercial process exactly but worth a try I would think. Best wishes!@@JakeMarvinVillegas

    How to biuld comutator?

  • @ccfmfg
    @ccfmfg Před 10 měsíci +1

    Just use a self tapping screw.

    • @JakeMarvinVillegas
      @JakeMarvinVillegas  Před 10 měsíci

      It might damage the commutator sir when the carbon brush wore out

    • @ccfmfg
      @ccfmfg Před 10 měsíci

      @@JakeMarvinVillegas You shouldn't ever be running the Brushes that short. Usually the Mfgr lengths the brush wire to be short enough to stop the brush and cause a loss of contact with the commutator before the original brush wire nut buried inside the brush from coming in contact with the commutator. so just using a short screw which does not have to be self tapping or steel, it can be brass, copper or aluminum can be used safely in the back of the brush to retain the brush wire without hazard. You could also center drill the brush clear thru it's axis with a hole just big enough for the wire then crimp or solder a small shortened piece of uninsulated copper electrical connector for that wire size to one end and after counter boring the center axis hole thru maybe 3/4 of the way from the commutator side of the brush just big enough for the connector piece to slide in and bottom in the counter bored hole retaining it. You would have slightly less brush contact and slightly shorter brush life but it probably wouldn't matter that much especially if You didn't have access to epoxy. if you use to much epoxy you could drastically reduce the amount of electrical contact from wire to brush. But I could be wrong. All this is just crap I derived from reading stuff off the Bath Room Stall Walls in the Head at the Avionics Building while in a Marine Aviation Maintenance Unit.

    Jb weld. Since it already has good conductivity. You just need it to stick and handle heat. The brushes won't get hot enough to affect the chemical weld

    • @JakeMarvinVillegas
      @JakeMarvinVillegas  Před rokem

      Yes Sir, even if its not epoxy as long as it can handle the heat from the commutator and carbon brush its good to go. By any chance do you have an adhesive in mind aside from super glue or epoxy Sir?

  • @gunjansharma1918
    @gunjansharma1918 Před 2 měsíci +1

    Just watched ur video, what a waste of time simply use a winding wire of appropriate swg drill and fix using aluminium dust mixed with epoxy resin,degsar if available in ur country goes best with epoxy.
