Mechanism that goes round and round (5)

I believe the answer is:

rotor

(Other definitions for rotor that I've seen before include "Helicopter vane" , "Part of electric motor" , "Rotating part of machine" , "Turning part of machine - a palindrome" , "Turning blade" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
