Attach Copper Wire to Carbon Brush

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.

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

Thanks for the tip sir, I would love to try that

[@RestrictedRican]

Needed to fix my lawnmower this helps

[@signalearth]

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 🎉🎉🎉

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

You're welcome sir, wow thank you for helping the lady sir. We need more gentlemen like you 😇

[@nolivalerio7461]

another very helpful tip from you sir jake ..more power and keep safe always...

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

Thank you Sir Noli 😇 God bless you and keep safe

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.

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

Thanks Sir for the support and encouragement 😇 I would definitely try your suggestions Sir. Now I have two mixtures in mind yours and Sir Dave's

[@tuga2112]

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.

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

And thank you sir, glad to help in some ways 😇

[@jcuvier135]

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!

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

You're welcome sir and thank you too! There are many ways to bond wires I myself find it difficult to solder one 😇

[@gunjansharma1918]

If not into electronic,pls do not try this , epoxy is the hell for designers.

[@ballsack4321]

Brilliant video mate, thank you sir

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

You're welcome and thank you sir 😇

[@crohkorthreetoes3821]

Thanks for sharing your findings

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

You're welcome Sir

[@azizaviation]

Good information. Both videos related to making carbon brushes are good

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

Thanks sir 😊

[@humveeadventures]

Great video!!

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

Thank you sir 😊

[@kevinberry5793]

Thanks for the info

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

No problem 👍

[@balsonnaoshekpam6240]

Very nice

[@leeisenberg]

Awesome, thanks for sharing. - take care

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

Thank you sir

[@santhoshbr3666]

Thanks for sharing

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

You're welcome sir and thank you

[@apollomedia7210]

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.

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

Wow thanks for the info sir. Will try when i have the chance

[@pringoalsvillegas5750]

Wow ❤ amazing

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

Salamats kang hehe

thanks

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

You're welcome!

[@jaitivi3436]

whats the brand of the epoxy

[@tinkerbooks2609]

Where did you get the carbon block?

[@luispedraja]

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]

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

[@tabugupta]

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

[@edrisi9306]

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

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

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

[@sosimacuizon8071]

😲

[@nathanmack5514]

Might try a metal repair paste

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

Definitely will try this sir

[@jerissacanabe1774]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

Thank you sa support beb 😘

[@zombi6446]

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.

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

You're welcome sir ☺️

[@Derek_Garnham]

i've ground down oversize brushes to fit before now and soldered the pigtail as you suggest

[@makmedia887]

How can I connect the wire of a brush to motor? My motor seems to be connected to the brush wire with sticky substance! Do you have any idea?

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

Good day sir, do you mean the carbon brush? What kind of motor do you have

[@nickbaylander6320]

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]

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?

[@jozefbubez6116]

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]

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

[@jozefbubez6116]

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

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

Sure sure i will try your suggestion good sir 😇

[@user-ir2ju3le1o]

Hello sir. I just want to know what is the purpose of braided copper wire in the carbon brush.

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

Good day sir, para po mas conductive yong carbon pero pwedi namn yon wala

[@Derek_Garnham]

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

[@1shanimehar1238]

Hallo sir iam interesting how to make carbon bush I want a carbon bush sheet please tell me where iam going and where is available details tell me how iam oder send who is made

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

Good day sir, i have ordered it via shoppee sir online shop. Just search for graphite block

[@ccfmfg]

Just use a self tapping screw.

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

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

[@ccfmfg]

@@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.

[@multitechservicepoint4917]

Watch full video ,i decided buy a New one😂

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

Yes for convenience 🤣

[@fixat-illshowyouhowtofixyourpo]

How to biuld comutator?

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

Sorry Sir I cant do that for now

[@fixat-illshowyouhowtofixyourpo]

@@JakeMarvinVillegas can u just tell the idea

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

Sure, I will make a video animation Sir 😉

[@gunjansharma1918]

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.

[@JakeMarvinVillegas]

You mean the windings of the armature sir?

[@gunjansharma1918]

Yes.

[@Abba9mas6]

Gracias...!!!
