An electric machine has a stator, a rotor, and a slip ring module which is connected to a motor shaft of the electric machine. The slip ring module is equipped with at least one wire guiding channel, through which a respective contact wire is guided in order to electrically connect a rotor winding to a slip ring. A first section of the wire guiding channel runs from the slip ring in the axial direction parallel to the motor shaft. A second section of the wire guiding channel runs adjacently thereto radially outwards. An elastic seal element which surrounds the respective contact wire is arranged in or on the second section in order to seal the wire guiding channel to prevent a lubricant from entering the channel.

A rotating joint apparatus includes a first section, a second section, and an interface between the first section and the second section. A bearing at the interface is configured such that the first section is rotatable relative to the second section. A main flow passage extends through the first section and the second section. A signal conductor is accessible, by a first connector on an exterior surface of the first section and, and by a second connector on an exterior surface of the second section. The signal conductor includes a signal transmission assembly at the interface.

A rotor arrangement for a slip ring assembly, comprising a shaft element and at least one contact ring. The shaft element is at least partially in the form of a hollow shaft with a hollow interior and a casing wall. The shaft element has a middle section and each contact ring is arranged on the shaft element in the middle section and is electrically insulated from the shaft element by means of an insulation. The middle section has at least one cutout through the insulation and the casing wall into the interior. Each contact ring is connected to a cable element which is guided through one of the at least one cutout into the interior. The shaft element has a first end section with an outer circumferential cross section for the rotationally fixed coupling. Furthermore, a rotary coupling arrangement comprising a rotor arrangement of this kind is proposed.

A slipring device includes a first part and a second part rotatable against each other. Both parts include housings with slipring components. A first housing at the first part has a hollow shaft with a bayonet lock notch to engage with a locking ring having at least one bayonet lock protrusion. The locking ring can easily be attached by a bayonet lock to lock the first part and the second part together.
