Metal Fiber Brush (MFB) Operating Environment

Metal Fiber Brush (MFB) Operating Environment

Defense Holdings, Inc.® (DHi) and HiPerCon, LLC® of Charlottesville, VA have developed revolutionary, patented Metal Fiber Brushes (MFBs) that can operate satisfactorily in environments hostile to traditional carbon brushes.

Our MFBs can operate satisfactorily in:

  • Harsh environments where carbon brushes increasingly fail
  • High runout conditions in excess of 50mils
  • The presence of industrial contaminates such as silicones and dust
  • Temperatures as low as -40 degrees F and as high as 180 degrees F.
  • Absolute humidity near zero if brushes are supplied with our proprietary embedded lubricants
  • Relative humidities as high as 100% and have even run immersed in water
  • For long periods in standby with low or no load then return to high loading
  • In high shock and vibration situations as specified in MIL-810D
