Red Top Advantage
Helwig Carbon has pioneered innovations like the Red Top Multiflex brush for improved electrical contact, reduced brush vibration and extended spring life. The Red Top was a Helwig patented feature which has over 35 years of proven field success and has now become an industry standard.

Composite Grade Brushes
Our composite grade brushes have been very effective on lightly loaded industrial equipment and elevator applications. Brushes can be purchased with special features like the Helwig Quick Disconnect (HQD) terminals and mounts or the Helwig Interrupter Devise (HID).

Our press-to-size capabilities allow us to offer cost effective alternatives on high volume applications. Complete in-house motor testing, material analysis and development allow us to help you find the right grade for your application.
