Definitions

  • the inner cylindrical support 3, which may be the rotating part, the outer wall 2 being stationary, is comprised of a first split ring and an inner ring 3'of closed circumference, to which the power cables 38, 39 are connected.
  • the split ring of the cylindrical support 3 can slightly deform and remain stationary against outer wall 2, upon small excursions of inner ring 3'.
  • rotations, e.g larger than 5 0 of the inner ring 3'
  • the split ring of support 3 will follow the outer ring's movements.
  • the inner and outer rings 3,3' are coupled via biasing spring 14.
