Abstract
An electrically conductive assembly prevents current flow through the raceways of a bearing and includes a conductive base plate having a centerline and including an annular main body with an inner and outer radial ends. One or more mounting lugs extend radially outwardly from the outer radial end of the main body and are connectable with the exterior surface of an outer member to secure the conductive assembly to the outer member at a position spaced axially from the bearing. The main body may be flat and include one or more stiffening flanges extending axially from and at least partially circumferentially about the inner perimeter of the main body and/or the outer perimeter of the main body and/or the outer perimeter of the mounting lugs. Alternatively, the main body is formed as a circular hub having a bore for receiving the conductor and each mounting lug includes two stiffening ribs.
