<p>A compression journal (19) for transferring microwave signals across a rotating interface comprises a silver impregnated graphite split ring stator (26) which surrounds and is in contact with a coin silver sleeve (44) of a shaft rotor when a rotor assembly is within a stator assembly. At least one O-ring (24) is placed over the outside of split ring segments (20a, 20b) of stator (26) to maintain continuous electrical contact between the stator and rotor. A beryllium copper radial shield (30) is secured to the end of the compression journal (19) securing it within a cavity of the stator assembly. The compression journal floats within the stator assembly to allow rotor/stator concentricities to adjust and seat properly for long term performance.</p> |
