V-Ring Commutator Manufacturing

Kommutatoren ... wir machen sie besser. ™

At EMCC/Thistle Industries, we manufacture and supply more V-Ring Commutators than any other type of Commutator.

Most commonly, our Commutators are used in the manufacture, repair and rewinding of DC Generators and Motors. V-ring Commutators are composed of copper bars and a steel core that is insulated and electrically isolated from each other by segments of mica. Insulated steel V-rings are forced together under pressure on the dovetails machined into the commutator. Nuts or bolts are then tightened on the steel hub while under intense pressure – Therefore,  locking the copper mica assembly in place on the insulated steel core.

The bar segments of our Commutators are made of high silver content copper alloy (for better conductivity) and are separated from each other by high-quality mica insulation that remains stable with heated temperature and compression. Slots are expertly cut in the riser based on your coil specifications.

Our V-ring commutators come in a wide variety of types and sizes. Some V-ring commutators may have an inserted riser with a vented steel core, while others may have a stepped bore with a key-way alignment. Often, molded commutators are re-engineered and converted into a v-ring style Commutator with a re-usable steel core. Having a re-usable steel core allows for more economical repairs and replacements (Commutator Refill) in the future.

24/7 Commutator Rebuild

When Commutators fail, EMCC has the expertise, capability and manpower to work around the clock – to manufacture the Commutators and coils you need. Our 24/7 Emergency “Rush Order ” production capability allows us to deliver unmatched Commutator quality, with the best turnaround times in the industry. Often delivering coils within 24-hours and commutators between 24-48 hours – depending on the size, type and quantity.

Mica Insulated V-rings

Mica v-rings are used as insulation in V-Ring Commutator manufacturing. Mica V-rings can be produced in one-piece or two-piece designs. These electrical insulating rings are made of Micanite, which is heated and then molded to specification.
