Provided are: an impact fastening tool which prevents a torque detecting means from missing a signal and extends service life by adopting a fixed connector that prevents the trouble of being instantaneously separated (bounced) from a rotating electrode by intermittent impacts and has a shape allowing the progression of friction to be delayed structurally; and a torque tester. Both end portions of the fixed connector are fixed, and at least two protrusion portions are formed between the both end portions. The rotating electrode is disposed between one protrusion portion and the other protrusion portion such that the rotating electrode contacts the fixed connector at two or more points or in a line form. A signal required for the torque detecting means is transmitted through the contact between the rotating electrode and the fixed connector.

The disclosure describes an apparatus for sealing a rotating machine, such as an electric machine or gas turbine engine. The apparatus includes a brush seal. The brush seal includes a plurality of first filaments and a plurality of electrically conductive filaments. The first filaments are configured to seal a lubricant within a bearing chamber or sump of the rotating machine. The plurality of electrically conductive filaments is configured to contact a shaft of the rotating machine and discharge a shaft voltage-induced current from the shaft to an external ground of the rotating machine.

A grounding brush assembly includes a grounding brush with a plurality of conductive fibers and a mounting plate. The mounting plate includes a radial main body, a plurality of retaining tongues extending from the main body for axially and radially retaining the brush, and a centering means extending from the main body and at least locally surrounding the grounding brush while remaining radially separated therefrom. The centering means has an outer surface defining the outer diameter of the mounting plate. The mounting plate further includes at least one mounting tongue which protrudes outwardly with respect to the outer surface of the centering means and which is flexible in the radial direction.

Systems and methods to mitigate electrical voltage on a rotating plate are disclosed. An example grounding pen brush includes two or more bundles of conductive filaments that are separated from the others by a threshold distance,

The metal graphite grounding brush including silver is made in slide contact with a peripheral surface of an axle and grounds the axle. The mass ratio between silver and carbonaceous components including a volatile component in the brush is silver above 30% and up to 90% and carbonaceous components less than 70% and down to 10%. When the total of silver and carbonaceous components is made 100%, the volatile component is down to 2.0% and up to 15%. The brush grounds the axle reliably so that noise from a car radio is reduced and has a long service life and mechanical strength.

Systems and methods to mitigate electrical voltage on a rotating shaft in an oil rich environment exposed to a viscous fluid or immersed in oil are disclosed. An example grounding brush assembly includes a plurality of conductive filaments configured to extend through the viscous medium surrounding the rotating shaft to be in electrical contact with the rotating shaft when the brush assembly is disposed proximate the shaft.

A slip ring includes a first dielectric carrier body and a second dielectric carrier body, each carrier body having at least one shoulder extending circumferentially along a circle line. In addition, the slip ring includes conductor elements, which have an annular and closed configuration with respect to an axis, at least one conductor element, which is fixed in place on the shoulder of the first dielectric carrier body, and at least one conductor element, which is fixed in place on the shoulder of the second dielectric carrier body. The first dielectric carrier body is arranged at an offset from the second dielectric carrier body in the direction of the axis, so that the shoulder having the at least one conductor element of the first dielectric carrier body and the shoulder having the at least one conductor element of the second dielectric carrier body are located axially across from each other.
