GE 36A16453AAP01, 36A16453AAP05, 36A16453AAP20 Carbon Brushes – Industrial OEM Replacements by VOCARBON

Overview

The GE 36A16453AAP01, 36A16453AAP05, and 36A16453AAP20 carbon brushes are heavy‑duty industrial electrical contact components originally specified for General Electric motors and generators. These brushes are designed to provide stable current transfer, reliable commutation, and extended service life, making them ideal for demanding applications in industrial environments such as power generation, steel mills, mining equipment, and heavy machinery drives.

VOCARBON supplies high‑quality replacements for all three GE models with optimized materials and precision manufacturing. VOCARBON brushes ensure consistent electrical performance, reduced wear, and dependable operation in continuous and heavy‑load conditions.

Material & Grade

All three GE models — 36A16453AAP01, 36A16453AAP05, and 36A16453AAP20 — are typically manufactured from:

• Material Type: Electro‑graphite / Graphite blend

• Industrial Grade: Heavy‑duty grade suitable for high current density and frequent commutation

Material advantages include:

• High electrical conductivity

• Stable self‑lubrication

• Excellent film‑forming ability on commutators

• Controlled wear and low friction

• High mechanical strength for prolonged life

Electro‑graphite grades are commonly used in industrial motors and generators where robust commutation and low maintenance are required.

Typical Dimensions & Variants

While each version (AAP01, AAP05, AAP20) has minor differences in shunt, terminal or grade specification, typical size and configuration features include:

• Length: ~2.75–3.50 inches (≈ 70–90 mm)

• Width: ~0.75–1.00 inches (≈ 19–25 mm)

• Thickness: ~1.25–1.50 inches (≈ 32–38 mm)

• Shunt: Flexible copper braided shunt

• Terminal: GE‑style terminal connector (clip or flag type)

• Contact Surface: Radius or flat based on commutator design

VOCARBON offers full customization of size, shunt length, and terminal configuration to suit exact GE OEM specifications or unique application needs.
