The rotating member of a machine (5)

I believe the answer is:

rotor

(Other definitions for rotor that I've seen before include "Mechanical part that revolves, an acronym" , "Chopper blade" , "Distributor arm" , "Revolving dynamic part" , "Device to propel a helicopter" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
