Advance Carbon Products was founded in 1956 as Advance Carbon & Electric Mfg. (ACEM),with their original facility located in a small shop in San Francisco. After successfully producing carbon brushes and mechanical graphite products for several markets, ACEM was reorganized into two different companies in 1962, one being Advance Carbon Products, Inc. In 1966, Advance Carbon Products was purchased from the parent company by the management team which included one of its original founders, William J. Crader, Jr

At Toronto Electric, we are proud to carry one of the only manufacturers of carbon brushes for their trustworthy and cutting-edge engineering. We pride ourselves as trailblazers of the industry, which is why we recognize Advance Carbon brushes as the best option for powering electric motors, generators, and DC machines. We highly recommend using carbon brushes for their ability to reduce damage to your motor. The carbon, referred to as a brush, transmits a current between the stationary parts of a motor to the moving parts. Carbon brushes are also able to carry electricity from outside the motor to the middle, spinning area of the motor.

We trust using Advance Carbon brushes for their spark-free commutation. Advance CarbonProducts engineer their carbon brushes to alleviate common problems found in electric motors by having a high melting point, using soft metal, adopting different shapes, self-lubricating, and having negative temperature co-efficient. The lifespan of carbon brushes can last anywhere between two to ten years depending on their use, and our team of experts are able to replace carbon brushes as needed.
