Explanation:
"Läufer" could also be a "runner" or a "coupler" in mechanical engineering,
"rotor" (as suggested by you) or "armature" in electrical engineering. It depends on your further context.

reproduction, copy


Explanation:
replica seems to be rather aimed at vintage vehicles.

For Ringläufer I found "Ring Traveller" at http://www.reinersfuerst.de/edocs/ringlaeufer/produkte/allge...

Is the context textile machinery?

For horizontal wrapping systems,however, the answer is "ringwrapper"
