Rotating conductor for transmitting an electrical signal from one member rotating relatively with respect to another member.

摘要

® A conductor for transmitting an electrical signal from a signal generator (16) on a rotating member (10) to a signal detector (18) on a relatively stationary member (12) across the motion interface between the two members comprises at least one solid carbon graphite ring (2D) mounted coaxially between the two members and having a first annular surface (S1) in intimate contact with a mating conductive surface on the rotating member that is electrically connected to the signal generator and having a second annular surface (S2) in intimate contact with a mating conductive surface on the stationary member (12) that is electrically connected to the signal detector (18), said carbon graphite ring (20) functioning as an electrical interconnection between the two members.
