A pan tilt unit comprises a support, a slip ring, a rotating platform, and a tilting mechanism. An outer rotating portion of the slip ring is able to rotate about the support. The slip ring comprises connections between an inner static portion of the slip ring and the outer rotating portion of the slip ring. The rotating platform is coupled to the outer rotating portion of the slip ring. The tilting mechanism is coupled to the rotating platform.

Connector inserts and connector receptacles that have a small form factor and where when a connector insert and connector receptacle are mated, the connector insert can rotate and articulate relative to an electronic device housing the connector receptacle. The connector receptacle can be connected to components in the electronic device through a flexible circuit board having an amount of slack or excess length to allow the connector receptacle and the connector insert to rotate relative to the connected components. A bearing supporting the connector receptacle can articulate about an axis to allow the connector receptacle and connector insert to articulate relative to the connected components. The bearing can further support a locking mechanism to lock the connector insert in place in the connector receptacle.

A rotary electric machine includes a rotor having a hollow shaft, a housing, a current shunter fixed to the housing and in electrical contact with the shaft and the housing, and a nozzle member for feeding a fluid inside the shaft. The shaft has an open end portion on a first axial side. The housing includes a bottom wall on the first axial side from the open end portion, and a peripheral wall protruding from the bottom wall toward a second axial side and surrounding the open end portion. The nozzle member has a feeding tubular part at least partly inserted inside the shaft from the open end portion, and a flange portion protruding radially outward from the feeding tubular part. The current shunter is located radially inside the peripheral wall, and the flange portion is located between the current shunter and the bottom wall in an axial direction.

A transmission (G) for a motor vehicle includes a housing (GG), a shaft (W, GW2, DS1, DS2) mounted in the housing (GG) and protruding from the housing (GG), a radial shaft seal (DR) having a sealing lip for sealing an oil space (NR) within the housing (GG) with respect to an exterior, a shaft grounding device (E) arranged on an exterior side of the radial shaft seal (DR) for establishing an electrically conductive sliding contact (SK) between the shaft (W, GW2, DS1, DS2) and the housing (GG), and a sleeve-shaped covering element (C) fixedly connected to the shaft (W, GW2, DS1, DS2) for protecting the sliding contact (SK) against environmental influences. The shaft grounding device (E) is fixedly connected to the housing (GG). The covering element (C), together with the grounding device (E), forms a labyrinth sealing. An electric axle drive (EA) may include the transmission (G).
