  • Patent number: 12580459
    Abstract: An electrically conductive nonwoven includes: a raw nonwoven having a first electrical conductivity; and electrically conductive particles having a second electrical conductivity. The second electrical conductivity is higher than the first electrical conductivity. In an embodiment, the particles have a proportion by weight of from 30% to 60%. In an embodiment, the particles have a size of from 3 ?m to 8 ?m.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20260058516
    Abstract: A shaft earthing arrangement including a housing which receives a shaft and a fluid. The shaft is associated with an earthing ring configured to produce an electrically conductive contact between the shaft and housing. The earthing ring has a disk-shaped contact member supported in a lip-like manner on a covering of the shaft. A first contact face is formed from the contact member and a second contact face is formed from the shaft. At least one of the first contact face and the second contact face is provided with a surface structuring.

  • Patent number: 12107463
    Abstract: A grounding ring, including a substantially circular-ring-shaped hub and at least two sliding contacts, which are arranged on the outside of the hub in the radial direction, extend in the circumferential direction and, in the manufactured state of the grounding ring, are arranged adjacent to one another at a distance from one another in the circumferential direction and delimit a circumferential gap with their sides facing one another in the circumferential direction, and wherein the circumferential gap is substantially bridged during the intended use of the grounding ring by the mutually facing and mutually non-overlapping sides.
