REPLY:

This is where the confusion comes from. In the above, "the thing which
turns" could be taken either as the thing which goes round and round
or it could be the thing which causes another thing to go round and
round. English-wise, either one is correct but ambiguous. 

A dictionary makes it clear:

Rotor:  the thing which goes round and round.
Rotator:  the thing which causes something else to go round and round.
