Abstract: A slip ring includes a dielectric carrier body having a circumferential lateral surface and radially oriented feed-through leads, a first conductive element, and a second conductive element. In a first section, the conductive elements extend in parallel at an axial offset on the lateral surface in the circumferential direction, and in a second section, they extend in the feed-through leads with a radial directional component. The first sections extend in the circumferential direction across a first angular dimension of less than 360°, so that a discontinuity is present along the circumferential direction of the conductive elements in a second angular dimension. The feed-through leads are arranged such that the second angular dimension of the first conductive element is situated at an offset from the second angular dimension of the second conductive element in the circumferential direction, the first and the second conductive elements being electrically connected to each other.

Abstract: A slip-ring brush includes a holder and a brush element that has three regions. The brush element is joined in the first region to the holder, and exhibits a cross-sectional geometry having a cross-sectional area in the second region, which is predetermined for the contacting with a slip ring.

The brush element is additionally arranged such that its third region is disposed between the first region and the second region. The cross-sectional geometry of the brush element in the third region is shaped so that it deviates from the cross-sectional geometry of the second region, to reduce the effective spring stiffness of the brush element.
