I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'armature' is the definition.
(I know that rotor is a type of armature)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for rotor that I've seen before include "It goes around" , "Chopper blade" , "Palindromic revolving part of machine" , "Revolving part of machinery" , "Revolving part of a machine, a palindrome" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
