ABSTRACT:
A rotary mechanism for use on space vehicles is provided, which mechanism comprises one or more bearings and stacking means. The bearings and stacking means join an inner and outer part so as to prevent the parts' rotary motion relative to each other, during launch phase, but permit such rotary motion thereafter. The use of the instant invention advantageously make it possible for forces produced during launch of the vehicle to be transmitted directly from one part to the other without loading the bearings, thereby permitting reduction in the size and weight of the bearings without any corresponding diminution of functionality.
