#rotating_mechanism a mechanism that rotates
supertype: mechanism device consisting of a piece of machinery; has moving parts that perform some function
part: bearing rotating_shaft
subtype: blade.rotating_mechanism__vane flat surface that rotates and pushes against air or water
subtype: fan_blade__fanblade blade of a rotating fan
subtype: impeller the blade of a rotor (as in the compressor of a jet engine)
subtype: paddle.blade a blade of a paddle wheel or water wheel
subtype: rudder_blade the vertical blade on a rudder
subtype: cam a rotating disk shaped to convert circular into linear motion
subtype: distributor_cam__distributorcam the cam inside the distributor that rotates to contact spark plug terminals in the correct order
subtype: circle.rotating_mechanism__round any circular or rotating mechanism; "the machine punched out metal circles"
subtype: disk__disc a thin flat circular plate
subtype: acetate_disk__acetatedisk__phonograph_recording_disk a disk coated with cellulose acetate
subtype: brake_disk__brakedisk the brake disk plate is fixed to the wheel; pressure is applied to it by the brake pads
subtype: diaphragm electro-acoustic transducer that vibrates to receive or produce sound waves
subtype: discus.disk__saucer a disk used in throwing competitions
subtype: Frisbee (trademark) a light plastic disk about 10 inches in diameter; sailed with a flip of the wrist for recreation or competition
subtype: planchet__coin_blank a flat metal disk ready for stamping as a coin
subtype: hockey_puck__puck a vulcanized rubber disk 3 inches in diameter that is used instead of a ball in ice hockey
subtype: token a metal or plastic disk that can be used (as a substitute for coins) in slot machines
subtype: subway_token a token that is used to pay for entry to the subway system
subtype: Ferris_wheel rotating mechanism consisting of a large upright wheel with suspended seats that remain upright as the wheel turns; provides a ride at an amusement park
subtype: gyroscope__gyro rotating mechanism in the form of a universally mounted spinning wheel that offers resistance to turns in any direction
subtype: rotor rotating mechanism consisting of an assembly of rotating airfoils; horizontal rotors on a helicopter or compressor rotors of a jet engine
subtype: main_rotor rotor consisting of large rotating airfoils on a single-rotor helicopter that produce the lift to support the helicopter in the air
subtype: tail_rotor__anti-torque_rotor 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
