Sliding current collector

摘要

A sliding current collector comprises a pair of sliding members which are slidable relative to each other for supply and reception of current through sliding surfaces of the paired sliding members wherein the two sliding members are made of conductive ceramics, and the sliding surface of each of the sliding members has a film surface made of a soft conductive material which is softer than the conductive ceramics so that the sliding current collector can suppress variations in contact voltage drop across the sliding surfaces.
