Abstract
A rotary rectifier assembly including a shaft adapted to be rotated. Three equally angularly spaced phase conductors are disposed about the shaft and insulated with respect to each other and with respect to the shaft and each has opposed, axially opening recesses. Diode wafers are received in each of the recesses and each recess further receives an electrically conductive load shoe. A pair of end conductors sandwich the phase conductors, wafers and load shoes and each end conductor has three equally angularly spaced curved recesses for matingly receiving the curved portion of the corresponding ones of the load shoes. A single biasing device is employed to bias one end conductor towards the other to thereby establish good electrical contact between the various components while occupying a minimum of space and minimizing the overall weight of the assembly.
