A swing/rotating gas metal arc welding torch, include a hollow shaft motor and a feeder panel. An upper extending shaft of the feeder panel penetrates through a brush mechanism, and is fixedly connected to a lower extension shaft of the hollow shaft by means of a coupling, and a lower extending shaft of the feeder panel penetrates through a support bearing mounted in a brush base and is then connected to an eccentric or bent conductive rod mechanism; the motor base is fixedly connected to the brush base by means of connecting screws, and a welding shielding gas is provided and welding torch cooling is achieved by means of inner holes of the connecting screws as well as a built-in gas passage and a cooling water passage of the brush base; the length of the conductive rod mechanism is adjusted by means of modulation or extension and retraction.

Systems for removing excess coolant oil and air from a radial air gap between a stator and a rotor of an electric motor are provided. In one example, the systems may include a ring covering the radial air gap, the ring configured to route coolant out of the radial air gap via one or more channels.

There is provided a cooling structure whose performance for cooling ring members and brushes is enhanced. In a cooling structure applied to a slip ring device including ring members provided to an input shaft and brushes contacting with these ring members, the input shaft includes a shaft member where an external spline portion is formed, and a cylindrical member that is installed over the external circumference of the shaft member so that an internal spline portion formed on the cylindrical member is meshed with the external spline portion, and that the ring members are fixed to the cylindrical member. The internal spline portion is formed upon a portion of the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical member that lies on the radially inward side of the ring members.
