Made of stacked laminations, it is the rotating component of an induction motor.
Half-disc of heavy metal, which is made to rotate inside the case of an automatic watch by the energy produced by the movements of the wearer's arm.

A blade system which supplies all the driving force for a wind generator.
The blades and other rotating components of a wind energy conversion turbine.
The oscillating mass which winds an automatic movement. A rotor most commonly is free to rotate in a full 360 degrees and may wind the watch when it is rotating in one direction only or indeed may wind in both directions through the use of reverser wheels and gears.
A rotor is a rotating body whose journals are supported by bearings.
Also referred to as a disc or drum, this is the circular metal object to which the brake pads are applied, creating friction to slow and stop the vehicle.
The rotating field windings of the only moving part of the generator set. Gillette exclusive feature is to precision balance rotors for smoother, vibration free operation.

An electric generator consists of an armature and a field structure. The armature carries the wire loop, coil, or other windings in which the voltage is induced, whereas the field structure produces the magnetic field. In small generators, the armature is usually the rotating component (rotor) surrounded by the stationary field structure (stator). In large generators in commercial electric power plants the situation is reversed. In a wind energy conversion device, the blades and rotating components.
In a self-winding mechanism, a part that moves freely in two directions to wind the mainspring.
The rotating component of an induction AC motor. It is typically constructed of a laminated, cylindrical iron core with slots for cast-aluminum conductors. Short-circuiting end rings complete the "squirrel cage," which rotates when the moving magnetic field induces a current in the shorted conductors.
