  1. Mica Selection:<\/strong> We start with premium-grade mica, known for its exceptional electrical insulation and thermal properties.2. Grinding into Fine Powder: The selected mica is then ground into a fine powder, providing the base material for the commutator.<\/li>
  2. Forming Layers:<\/strong> This mica powder is layered, under pressure, with a resin binder to form sheets that will become the commutator segments.<\/li>
  3. Cutting and Shaping:<\/strong> These mica-resin sheets are precisely cut and shaped into the commutator segments.<\/li>
  4. Assembly:<\/strong> The segments are expertly assembled, with insulating properties between each, onto a shaft, forming the final commutator ready for installation.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
