rotator
Makes things spin
A rotator is something that rotates or causes rotation.
The term appears most often in anatomy, where rotator muscles turn body parts around their axes—the rotator cuff being the group of muscles and tendons stabilizing the shoulder joint.
Mechanical rotators spin or turn objects: a tire rotator, an antenna rotator.
