The stator on an oscillator refers to its cells that are alive during all of its phases. Sometimes the stator is taken to include also some of the cells that are always off.

Bushing and casing

The bushing of an oscillator is the part of the stator that is adjacent to the rotor. The rest of the stator is known as the casing.

A blinker's stator consists of its central cell.
The stator of a mold is a loaf.
Billiard table configuration oscillators frequently require induction coils, such as the covers surrounding this scrubber, as a part of their casing.
