    摘要: A combined electrical insulator and conductor assembly for a bearing disposable between a shaft and a housing includes an annular insulator disposable about the bearing outer ring and configured to prevent electric current flow between the outer ring and the housing and including a plurality of projections extending axially along and spaced circumferentially about a centerline. A conductor includes a conductive disk with an outer radial end engageable with the housing inner surface, an inner radial end defining a central opening for receiving the shaft and openings each receiving a separate one of the plurality of projections of the insulator such that the disk is axially displaceable relative to the insulator. An annular conductive brush subassembly is coupled with the conductive disk and includes a plurality of electrically conductive fibers contactable with the shaft outer surface so as to provide a conductive path between the shaft and the disk.

    摘要: An earthing brush assembly including an earthing brush and a brush mounting plate configured to radially and axially retain the brush, the brush having a support and a plurality of conductive individual fibres mounted in the support, the mounting plate providing a radial main body axially delimited by a first front face and by a second front face, and a plurality of tongues for axially and radially retaining the brush, the tongues being circumferentially distributed around the main body of the mounting plate and extending axially from the second front face of the main body. The brush mounting plate includes at least three mounting segments extending radially outwards from an outer surface of the main body, the mounting segments being distributed circumferentially around the main body of the mounting plate, each one of the segments locally surrounding the support of the earthing brush while remaining radially separated from the support.

    摘要: An insulating device for a bearing mountable within a housing, the bearing having an inner ring and an outer ring with an outer circumferential surface and opposing axial ends and a plurality of rolling elements disposed there between. The insulating device comprises: a first annular part, which is adapted to be in contact to the outer circumferential surface of the outer ring, and a second annular part, which is also adapted to be in contact to the outer circumferential surface of the outer ring. The first and second part form the insulation device which is adapted to contact, in an assembled state of the bearing in the housing, both the outer ring and the housing. The first part is thermally conductive and electrically insulating and the second part is electrically insulating and less thermally conductive than the first part or is not thermally conductive.
