Prevent damage to electric motors through reliable grounding

Grounding Systems

Electric motors, as well as their bearings and gears, must be proactively protected from damage caused by electrical currents. This is precisely the purpose of the grounding systems from Schunk Group. These essential components ensure safe operation of drive systems in mechanical and plant engineering as well as in electromobility – with reduced maintenance effort and downtime.

Protection of Drive Components

These Are Grounding Systems

Grounding systems safely divert unwanted electrical currents from rotating parts, such as shafts, to prevent damage to bearings and gears. These systems, consisting of grounding brushes and special holders, play a crucial role in avoiding electrical erosion and extending the service life of machinery.

Schunk Group offers innovative solutions for grounding systems, including carbon fiber grounding brushes and the versatile Industrial Protection System (IPS). These systems are characterized by high conductivity, wear resistance, and adaptability to various application conditions.

Using special carbon brushes made of carbon materials, as well as suitable carbon brush holders, ensures optimal positioning and permanent contact with the shaft, thereby guaranteeing effective grounding.
