1. a device or mechanism that rotates or causes rotation
Usage: technical; engineering
2. a person or thing that gyrates or spins

Examples

• The gyrator in the washing machine helps distribute water evenly during the spin cycle.
• The mechanical gyrator was designed to rotate at high speeds for industrial applications.
• Engineers tested the new gyrator to ensure it could handle the required torque.
• The gyrator's smooth rotation reduced vibration in the system.
• The device functions as a gyrator, converting linear motion into rotational movement.
