BEARINGS!

Just spend a few hours researching BEARINGS. We will be using bearings to transfer power from a stationary position(the motor side) to a moving position(rotor side).

Bearings consist of metal ball bearings contained in a metal cage, the inner diameter rotates independently of the outer, allowing one side to remain fixed. Turns out there is a crapload of terminology and variance amongst bearings, so there was more research than expected that I had to do. Anyways, i ordered 6 608-ZZ-ECO bearings. Fingers crossed the research paid off.
