Slip ring and slip ring unit having a slip ring

A slip ring unit, comprising:

• a slip ring including:
• a dielectric carrier body having a circumferential lateral surface and radially oriented feed-through leads that extend through the lateral surface;
• a first conductive element;
• and
• a second conductive element;
• wherein the first and second conductive elements are arranged on the lateral surface in parallel at an axial offset, extend in a circumferential direction in a first section, and extend in the feed-through leads with a radial directional component in a second section;
• wherein the first section of each of the first and second conductive elements extends across a first angular dimension of less than 360° in the circumferential direction so that a discontinuity is present along the circumferential direction of the first and second conductive elements in a second angular dimension;
• wherein the feed-through leads are arranged such that the second angular dimension of the first conductive element is situated at an offset from the second angular dimension of the second conductive element in the circumferential direction;
• and
• wherein the first conductive element and the second conductive element are electrically connected to each other;
• and
• a brush unit including a brush, the brush being in sliding contact with the first and second conductive elements in the first section across the first angular dimension, the first angular dimension amounting to at least 270°.
