Abstract
An electrically conductive assembly prevents current flow through the raceways of a bearing rotatably coupling a shaft with an outer member, such that the shaft or outer member is rotatable about a central axis, the outer member having an exterior mounting surface spaced radially outwardly from the bore. The conductive assembly includes an annular base plate formed of a conductive material and having a main body entirely encircling the centerline and two or more integral mounting lugs extending radially outwardly from the main body and connectable with the mounting surface of the outer member to secure the conductive assembly to the outer member. An annular inner conductor is connected with the base plate and has an inner radial end engageable with the shaft such that an electrically conductive path extends between the shaft and the outer member through the inner conductor and the base plate.
