Modern cars contain over 100 electric motors. Schunk components provide exemplary service in these motors. ABS, starters, fans (for ventilation and air-conditioning), power windows, seatbelt tensioners, fuel pumps, sun roofs, power seat adjusters or windshield wipers – they are all equipped with carbon brushes and brush systems made by Schunk.

For that purpose, we deliver annually over 500 million brushes and brush systems to the automotive industry, often carbon brush holders or ready-to-install modules as well. Our systematic automotive technology ensures increased driving safety, for example with ABS, as well as modern engine management, for example in fuel pumps, and a decrease of CO2 in the stop-and go-starter. Our partners in the automotive industry know that they can rely on our quality.

The Automotive Business Unit is currently comprised of four companies with special knowledge about carbon brush materials and acute component know-how.

• Schunk Kohlenstofftechnik GmbH
• Hoffmann Elektrokohle AG
• Gerhard Präzisionspresstechnik GmbH
• Schunk Modultechnik GmbH
