Neutral zone testers
The neutral zone in a DC motor is a crucial space its function and longevity.
The positioning of the carbon brushes in the neutral zone is crucial to prevent sparking at the commutator and maximize motor efficiency:
- Sparking (commutation)
When an armature coil is short-circuited by the carbon brush, coil voltage in this coil should be voltage zero voltage . If the voltage there were too high, this would lead to a short-circuit current and severe sparking between the brush and the commutator segment. - Torque
If the carbon brushes are not in the optimal neutral zone position, the Motor will no longer deliver its optimal torque.
The neutral zonecan be Motor in the test field while Motor is running.
However, the neutral zone tester also allows this to be done with a good degree of accuracy without having to Motor the Motor .
Key facts:
- Neutral zone adjustment when the machine is at a standstill
- Very simple and safe adjustment
- Can also be used ideally as a preliminary adjustment

Good to know:
The neutral zone adjustment
Adjusting theneutral zoneis not a test, but rather a setting procedure that is performed when the machine is at a standstill.
The test device/adjustment device is connected to the field winding and the brush bridge. Signals generated by the test device at the field winding and detected at the brush bridge are evaluated.
The testing device indicates how far the angular position of the brush bridge deviates to the left or right from the optimal neutral zone. By adjusting the angle of the brush bridge, the position is adjusted so that the smallest bar deflection is achieved. The brush bridge is mechanically fixed in this position. This completed the process.
