moteur d'un mécanisme d'orientation/de rotation

Tomasso's explanation is right (swing assembly), but I think the translation is wrong

Reference:

swing drive, (ensemble de oscilation)

I think *swing drive* is shortened, as an adj followed by noun, swing drive is a quick way to say, the system that moves the big gear which swings the shovel of the excavator, and as such, le ensemble consists de moteur hydraulique, boite de reduction de vitesse,

Je crois le response e la en *moteur oscillant*,

Encore comment avet dit Ms Confais: moteur d'oscillation
