Shaft Grounding Brush
Shaft Grounding Brush
(OP)
I am building a fan for use in an explosive environement and I need a grounding brush for the shaft to prevent any sparks. Can anyone here point me in the right direction. I found the following links in an earlier post on this forum, but I think these brushes are overkill for what I am doing. I would appreciate your opinions on the matter.
40 Hp AC motor direct coupling (I am not using a VFD)
1750 RPM
1 15/16 shaft diameter

I am going to try one on a larger motor this week or next.

RE: Shaft Grounding Brush
Does any shaft brush supplier warrant that their equipment is suitable for an explosive environment?
It's not clear from your post, but if you are manufacturing this blower for sale to someone else, you might want to decide if it's worth the risk.
If this is an in-house project, you can ignore this post probably (just like everyone else
