Motor shaft discharge device

摘要

A grounding system for an AC or DC motor or other rotating apparatus employs a conductive brush in resilient contact with a contamination free conductive member removably secured onto a rotating part such as a motor shaft or tachometer shaft. The contacting surface is preferably formed of brass and is shielded from contamination from motor bearings and the like, for reliably shunting the shaft to the frame of the machine so as to avoid high voltage transients across bearings as would otherwise result in bearing damage or destruction.
