A contact arrangement, comprising:
- at least one outer contact piece and at least one inner contact piece, which are guided to move in a longitudinal direction with respect to one another;
- and
- a roller-type contact, which has contact rollers and is arranged between the inner contact piece and the outer contact piece forming an electrically conductive connection, wherein
- the at least one of the outer contact piece has an opening having a limit wall which is concave in cross section, roller-type contact being arranged at least partially in the opening for transferring the current,
- the outer contact piece is a stationary contact tube, in which the inner contact piece is arranged as a contact bolt which is guided to move in the longitudinal direction, and
- the contact bolt has, at mutually opposing sides, longitudinal grooves which are concave in cross section and are each provided for accommodating contact rollers.
