A rotating part of a mechanical device, for example in an electric motor, generator, alternator or pump
The rotors or rotor blades of a helicopter are the four long, flat, thin pieces of metal on top of it which go round and lift it off the ground
The rotating part of a machine The rotor is surrounded by the stationary (non-moving) parts (stator) of the machine
(Otomotiv) A device that sits atop the distributor shaft and rotates with it to conduct electric current to each spark plug terminal in turn. The discs on disc brakes are sometimes referred to as rotors
Rotating part of a generator which contains electromagnets Turning the rotor in the stator assembly causes electricity to be produced
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 Its weight tends always to bring it back to the vertical position Demultiplied by a specially designed device, its rotations continually wind the mainspring of the watch
(wind) The assembly of SAILs or BLADEs that rotate about an AXIS created by the WIND SHAFT of a WINDMILL F - rotor S - rotor
A rotating contact inside the distributor that routes electrical pulses from the coil to the spark plugs Also, the metal disc against which brake pads are forced to stop vehicle
1) The blade and hub assembly of a wind generator 2) The disc part of a vehicle disc brake 3) The armature of a permanent magnet alternator, which spins and contains permanent magnets
The part of an automatic (or self-winding) mechanical watch that winds the movement's mainspring It is a flat piece of metal, usually shaped like a semicircle, that swivels on a pivot with the motion of the wearer's arm
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
A component of a self-winding mechanical watch that winds the movement's mainspring The rotor swivels on a small pivot with the movement of the watch wearer's hand and arm
The rotating component of an induction AC motor It is typically constructed of a laminated, cylindrical iron core with slots of cast-aluminum conductors Short-circuiting end rings complete the "squirrel cage," which rotates when the moving magnetic field induces current in the shorted conductors
This is a term used to designate the spinning center of an A C fan motor The same part of a D C motor is the armature
The rotor is the part of the engine that receives the power impulse of the explosion and combustion of the fuel air mixture It supercedes the piston of old internal combustion engines Sometimes loosely called a "rotary piston"
rotating mechanism consisting of an assembly of rotating airfoils; horizontal rotors on a helicopter or compressor rotors of a jet engine the rotating armature of a motor or generator the revolving bar of a distributor
The rotating element of a machine and, in the case of a compressor is composed of the impeller (or impellers) and shaft, and may include shaft sleeves, and a thrust balancing device
The rotating element of a machine and, in the case of a compressor, is composed of the impeller (impellers) and shaft, and may include shaft sleeves and a thrust balancing device (060)
The rotating or sliding member of a latch which engages and restrains the latch to the striker
LRA, or locked rotor amps, is a specification given to refrigeration compressors which indicates the current (amperage) being drawn by the electric motor within a refrigeration compressor when its electric motor is "locked up", such that the motor’s rotor is not turning. The LRA value is used to determine what gauge wire and circuit breaker should be used when wiring the compressor to the circuit breaker panel. Typically, the running amps (current, RA) is the current being drawn when the refrigeration compressor is running normally. The running current for small compressors is around 25% less of the locked rotor current
(Havacılık) An arrangement in which a pair of rotor blades are joined at the hub, which is free to move in a flapping sense, with the flapping hinge line lying on the rotor axis. Also called a seesaw rotor
(Elektrik, Elektronik) An induction motor the ends of the rotor windings of which are connected to slip-rings through which external resistance may be added to the rotor circuit for starting purposes. Used for duties in which on-load starting is required
rotor consisting of a rotating airfoil on the tail of a single-rotor helicopter; keeps the helicopter from spinning in the direction opposite to the rotation of the main rotor
