Carbon Brushes
Carbon brushes have a very important role as parts providing electric current in order to rotate motors. Toshiba Ceramics’ carbon brushes are widely employed in various types of motors in such basic industries as electric power plants, iron and steel works, public transportation, and also in familiar products such as automobiles, electric appliance, and computer peripherals. In addition, non-lead brushes are enjoying an excellent reputation among many customers given their environmental protection properties.

QCH-HEATER®
QCH-HEATER® developed by Toshiba Ceramics is a new heater that consists of a high purity carbon wire heating element and quartz glass. Conventional heaters available in the industries have been either metal wires or ceramic heaters; however, as they can be affected by purity and the operating environment, it is very difficult to achieve the intended purposes. QCH-HEATER® has a number of features such as high purity, low thermal capacity, and high output. As it is more immune to the operating environment, it is expected to find wide applications including the heating of liquids, the sterilization of foods and medical products, and use in chemical equipment.
