Abstract

The invention is a sliding contact and also a method for the production thereof. The sliding contact arrangement has two parts mounted to rotate relatively to one another. The first part has a metallic carrier ring with radial inner and outer sides, which is monolithically connected to at least one spring arm, which ends freely on one side on the inner side or outer side. The spring arm extends longitudinally relative to the inner or outer side at least in certain sections. The spring arm ends at a spring arm head having a contact surface facing away from the carrier ring, which is in sliding contact with a contact surface of the second part.
