So now I understand. The rotor, which is inside the stationary rotator and
is connected the the aerial buy a semi-rigid element, rotates and therefore
turns the aerial.

I have too, but only rotator is correct. A rotor is a device that
itself rotates, such as the moving part in an electric motor. A
rotator is a device that causes something else to rotate but itself is
stationary.
