Abstract: A method for production of a multi-layer carbon brush including at least two electrically-conducting functional layers made from carbon material and at least one insulation layer made from an electrically-insulating material, running between consecutive functional layers. According to the invention, the corresponding multi-layer carbon brushes and the layers with desired thickness can be produced by applying the carbon material and the electrically-insulating material in a mold in a sequence corresponding to the layer sequence of the multi-layer carbon brush for production in powder form, then pressed and finally heat-treated.

Abstract: A resin bonded graphite material which is especially suitable for use as an electric contact, and a method for the production of this resin bonded graphite material. According to the invention, the resin-bonded graphite material if formed from a mixture of carbon black containing electro-graphite with a unburned graphite content of RG wherein RG?30 percent by weight, electro-graphite free of carbon black as well as binding agents. The material has a specific electrical resistance Wspec wherein Wspec?3500 ??m, and use of the resin bonded graphite material as an electrical contact makes possible substantial exclusion of radio interference.

Abstract: The invention relates to a carbon-graphite material with an embedded additive. So that the carbon-graphite material is distinguished by a low coefficient of friction and low wear, it is proposed that the additive is one or several synthetic mechanically resistant materials of a mean grain size between 0.1 to 10 &mgr;m.
