pööritamine

Pööritamine is a noun in Estonian that denotes the act of turning, twisting, or rotating around an axis. It is used to describe circular motion in everyday language as well as in scientific and technical contexts. In physics and engineering the term often refers to rotational movement, such as the spin of a wheel, a rotor, or a shaft, and it is commonly associated with angular velocity and rotational speed.

In formal terminology, pöörlemine is the standard word for rotation, while pööritamine can emphasize the act of causing or undergoing rapid spinning. This nuance makes pööritamine common in descriptions of motors, turbines, centrifuges, and other devices where turning motion is central to function. It can also appear in mechanical descriptions of components that are set into motion by a driving force.
