Abstract

The contact has a central opening coaxial to the wheel axle central axis covered by a contact plate (22), a cover (24) attached to a fixed vehicle part, e.g. a bearing housing, a contact element (32), e.g. carbon brushes, and a pressure element, e.g. a spring element (30), for causing the contact element and contact plate to interact under force. The pressure element emanating from the cover forces the contact element towards the contact plate.
