Abstract
A slip ring, in particular for use in a wind turbine, includes an axle extending in an axial direction and a contact region having a contact surface on a peripheral surface of the contact region and a recess extending in a tangential circumferential direction along the peripheral surface. The contact region includes an axial end face formed with an opening which communicates with the recess. The contact region includes three essentially cylindrical segments which define two covering segments and an intermediate segment arranged in a center between the two covering segment. Each of the two covering segments defines a radius which is larger than a radius of the intermediate segment so that a peripheral surface of the intermediate segment forms an underside of the recess. An insulating region is arranged adjacent to the contact region on the axle.
