Abstract
An electrically conductive device includes an annular conductor having a centerline and an inner radial end contactable with a shaft with an inner circumferential surface centered about the centerline. A support bracket is formed of an electrically conductive material and includes an inner annular main body with a centerline, the annular conductor being coupled with the main body such that the conductor centerline is coaxial with the bracket centerline, and at least one mounting lug extending radially outwardly from the main body and disposable against a radial mounting surface of an outer member. The mounting lug(s) include first and second centering projections located at first and second predetermined distances from the centerline and being disposable within corresponding openings in the outer member such that the centerline of the conductor is coaxial with the shaft central axis and the conductor inner circumferential surface is centered about the central axis.
