SUPERIOR MANUFACTURING TECHNIQUES

AKARD COMMUTATOR of TENNESSEE (ACT) exclusive copper machining processes enable us to hold tighter tolerances while also greatly increasing the speed of the entire manufacturing process. Our 1-Piece mica V-Rings are custom molded for an exact fit (while fully protecting the sharp-point of the steel cap). Every unit we produce has better ground fault protection than many manufacturers, as we don’t use inferior silicon sealants (proven to cause premature carbon brush failure).
