Abstract

A discharge device for a rolling bearing as well as a method for discharging electrostatic loads to a rolling bearing including a flexurally elastic conductor. The conductor includes a first conductor section and a second conductor section for forming a contact arrangement at a rolling bearing. The first conductor section electrically engages a first bearing ring and the second conductor section electrically engages a second bearing ring of the rolling bearing to form an electrically conductive connection between the first bearing ring and the second bearing ring.
