A dynamoelectric machine includes a shaft, a rotor arranged fixedly on the shaft for conjoint rotation, and a slip ring system enabling a rotor winding system to be contacted electrically and including a slip ring body having slip rings arranged spaced-apart axially behind one another and assigned to an electrical phase. The slip ring body is connected fixedly to the shaft for conjoint rotation and has between an inner side thereof and the shaft a section which forms an axially open cavity on both skies. In a region of the slip ring system, the shaft is hollow with a hollow shaft portion assigned to the slip ring system for routing feed lines to the rotor winding system. Recesses are provided on the cavity axially on an inside and axially on an outside for introducing a cooling medium flow axially into the cavity and discharge thereof into an outlet region.

The contact region includes three essentially cylindrical segments which define two covering segments and an intermediate segment arranged in a center between the two covering segment. Each of the two covering segments defines a radius which is larger than a radius of the intermediate segment so that a peripheral surface of the intermediate segment forms an underside of the recess. An insulating region is arranged adjacent to the contact region on the axle.

A slip ring body for electrically contacting an asynchronous machine includes first and second slip rings rigidly connected to one another, with at least two conductor bars fastened to each of the slip rings. At least one of the slip rings has a recess for passage of the conductor bars of the other slip ring and defining around the recess a first region in which air is at least partially present and which has a magnetic conductivity that is lower than a magnetic conductivity in a second region in which the conductor bars to the one slip ring are fastened, or which second region is embodied for contacting with an energy-transmitting brush. The first and second regions are not made of copper. The recess defines an opening cross-sectional area which is greater than a cross-sectional area of the conductor bars fastened to the one slip ring.

A slip ring includes an essentially cylindrical contact region defined by a radius and having a contact region which faces in a radially outwards direction. The contact region has a recess in a region of the contact surface, with the recess configured to have a projection extending on an inner side of the recess and/or being interrupted in a tangential direction.
