Rotoren

Rotoren, the German term for rotors, are the rotating components in many machines. They transfer energy, generate torque, or convert electrical energy to mechanical energy, while interacting with stationary parts such as housings or stators.

In electric machines, rotors form the moving part of motors and generators. Rotor design affects torque, speed,

In turbines and engines, rotors are shafts with discs and blades that rotate to extract or impart

In aviation, rotor systems provide lift and control. The main rotor generates lift; the tail rotor provides

Design and maintenance focus on balancing, rigidity, fatigue life, and bearing lubrication. Rotors require precise manufacturing,
