A silver impregnated, carbon-graphite material has been developed by Metallized Carbon Corporation. This new material is suited to electrical applications that require low resistance, low voltage drop, and low electrical noise.
The material is ideal for DC motor brushes, non-welding electrical contacts, and rotary slip ring brushes or contacts in air traffic control radars, telecommunications systems, and satellite communications systems.
Low noise slip ring assemblies, such as rotary joints, microwave rotary couplings, and RF rotary joints, are used to transmit minute electrical signals in rotating equipment such as microwave antennas, radar receivers, sonar receivers, rotating thermocouples read-outs, and rotating strain gauge read-outs.
The carbon-graphite in the Silver Metcar material provides self-lubricating properties and the pure silver provides high and constant electrical conductivity.
