Abstract
A sliding brush assembly for a slipring includes a sliding brush and an absorbing device containing absorbing material attached to the sliding brush, such that the at least one sliding brush is enclosed by the absorbing material. The absorbing device includes a housing with two (optionally identical) housing parts (each having an elongated base with a snap arm at one side and at the opposing side an opening, into which the snap-arm fits). The housing may easily be closed around a sliding brush by snapping two housing parts together.
