Abstract
The invention relates to a device for transmitting energy which essentially consists of a housing comprising a stator unit and a rotor unit, and of at least one flexible line accommodated inside an annular cavity of the housing. The aim of the invention is to create a device which, with a simple design, reduces, to a minimum, relative movements with contacting application between the housing and the at least one flexible line accommodated in the annular cavity. To this end, the housing consists of a stator bottom part comprising the outer wall and a first bottom wall area, and of a stator top part comprising a first cover wall area. The housing also consists of a rotor bottom part comprising the inner wall and a second bottom wall area, and of a rotor top part comprising a second cover wall area.
