Does this answer your question?

Rotating Actuators (an excerpt from the page)
http://www.flo-products.com/floprod/microthra.html
..."In applications such as machining, the Rotating Actuator is
mounted to the spindle and rotates at the same speed. When pressure is
applied, it advances or reverses the relative position of the vanes -
therefore the shaft - to supply the necessary movement, or torque, as
the job requires. In test and fatigue applications, the Rotating
actuator is mounted remote of the power source but as an integral unit
of the entire driving assembly. Its function is to impose torque
circulating within the driven assembly but independent of the rotating
power source. Controlled fluid pressure on the vanes within the
actuator apply load, or shock as the test may require, on the driven
specimens..."
