There's more to it than any brush that fits

Carbon brushes are one of the most commonly used and replaced items on your locomotive. But brush choice drives how the whole machine performs.

With JMC's extensive knowledge of locomotive requirements and operating environments, we can match the brush to each application by the exact grade, wafer and shunt needed — giving you a more reliable brush and extending the life of your rotating equipment.

Our stock brushes have historically shown the lowest dusting of any brush on the market, and extended run life with it.
