Rotating shaft (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spindle

'rotating shaft' is the definition.
(spindle is a kind of rotating shaft)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for spindle that I've seen before include "Device for winding thread" , "Rod serving as an axis of rotation" , "Rod on which something turns" , "Rod used in spinning" , "This could be with knobs on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times, The Sun, the King Feature Syndicate, The Guardian, the Universal and The Times.
