an armature is something that goes around and around in circles seeking electrons or somesuch
Definitions of ARMATURE on the Web:
The center part of the motor which rotates making the transfer of electricity across the motor, enabling the motor shaft to spin. A quality armature is mounted on ball bearings, and protected from incoming vacuum air that has been heated and dirtied.

The part, usually revolving, of an electric motor or generator that includes the main current-carrying winding and in which the electromotive force is induced.
www.apta.com/services/safety/glossary.htm
That part of a motor which includes the main current-carrying winding. In direct -current machines and in alternating-current commutator machines, the armature winding is connected to the commutator and the armature is the rotating member. In alternating current machines without commutators, the armature may be either the rotating member or the stationary member.

The armature is the rotating member of an electric motor. In brush-type DC motors, it consists of the main current carrying windings (conductors) in the rotor. The commutator switches the power supply to the armature windings to generate a magnetic field.

A coil of wire formed around an iron or steel core that rotates in the magnetic field of a generator or motor.
cougar.slvhs.slv.k12.ca.us/~pboomer/physicstextbook/physglossary.html
The moving part of a magnetic device consisting of one or more coils that are electrically connected to create the rotatable section of a generator. See ARMATURE in Glossary of Switches, Keyboards, and Electromechanical Relays.

The part of an electromagnetic device that moves. In a simple motor the armature is the part that includes the wire coil.

The moving part of an alternator, generator or motor. In many PM alternator designs, it carries the magnets and is attached to the blades and hub. Also called a Rotor.

Found on commutator (Carbon brush) motors. Includes the rotor, windings and commutator. In a router, the armature has a thread on one end which holds the collet and nut assembly.

The armature of a generator or motor is that part of the machine containing the winding in which the electromotive force is generated. For direct-current machines, it is usually revolving, while for alternating-current machinery it is usually stationary. The two essential parts of all generators and motors are the field magnet, which produces the necessary magnetic flux, and the armature on which the conductors are arranged.

A portion of an electrical device that moves within the flux of field windings, as in a starter motor.

The rotating part of a brush type direct current (DC) motor. In an induction motor, the rotating part is called a rotor.

Is the spinning part of an electric motor. Also known as the arm.

Rotating support for multiple windings in a motor.

rotating member of a brushed DC motor.

Part of an electric motor, generator or other device moved by magnetism.
www.hvac2000.com/definitionslist.htm
A wire-wrapped iron or steel core forming a movable coil within the starting motor. When it revolves in the magnetic field between the poles, an electric current is induced.

The skeleton of a stop-motion puppet, usually constructed of machined steel. Armature ball and socket joints allow animators to manipulate the puppet to create the illusion of movement. Although a stop-motion puppet's foam latex body will often wear out and be replaced during the grueling course of animation, well made armatures normally outlast the production. Armatures are also used for motion input devices only the joints are configured with encoders that can digitize the armatures movements.

A bendable metal form used in sculpting. The armature is posed, clay, "green stuff," or other media is built up on the armature and then detailed. The flexibility of the form allows it to be repositioned as the figure takes shape.
www.konversions.com/glossaryMod1.html
A skeleton-like framework used to support clay or plaster. An armature is often made of wood, wire, or metal.
www.svsu.edu/mfsm/educational/glosstrm46.html
A multicoil rotating assembly, used in commercial motors instead of the single rotating coil of the model motor built in class. A segmented commutator is used to connect each of the armature windings to the power supply in turn, thus providing smoother rotation of the motor.

Think of this as the "skeleton": a frame that supports the "shell" that you put on it or around it. Usually made of wire.
