Flexible electrical contact module

A system for conducting electricity, the system comprising a first body, a second body configured to move relative to the first body in a primary movement direction, and one or more electrical contact modules disposed between and in contact with the first body and the second body, each electrical contact module comprising:

• a plurality of laminations, each lamination comprising a metal sheet having a central longitudinal portion aligned on a first plane, a first plurality of fingers extending outward from the central longitudinal portion and aligned on a second plane angled relative to the first plane at a first angle, and a second plurality of fingers extending outward from the central longitudinal portion and aligned on a third plane angled relative to the first plane at an angle supplementary to the first angle, such that the lamination has an arrow shape from an end view, each pair of longitudinally adjacent fingers separated from one another by a gap;
• and
• at least a first clamping bar and a second clamping bar parallel to the central longitudinal portions of the plurality of laminations and disposed to compressively hold the plurality of laminations together in a stack disposed between the clamping bars along a clamping axis disposed orthogonal to the primary movement direction, each lamination separated from an adjacent lamination in the stack by a shim having a thickness that defines a space between parallel fingers of the adjacent laminations.
