PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To robustly ground a photoreceptor assembly, including a conductive photoreceptor drum, in a xerographic image printing machine or electrostatographic printing machine. SOLUTION: The grounding apparatus for robustly grounding the photoreceptor assembly, including the conductive photoreceptor drum, in the xerographic image producing machine includes a flange including a first portion having a first diameter and a second portion having a second relatively smaller diameter; a conductive plating formed on said flange presenting a relatively large conductive surface area for contactably assembling against walls of the conductive photoreceptor drum; and an electrical connector for electrically connecting the large conductive surface area of the conductive plating to an electrically conductive drive shaft of the xerographic image producing machine.
