Abstract
A motor assembly comprises a plurality of redundant bearings, a plurality of coaxial support elements, with at least one of the support elements rotatable about an axis of rotation, and an armature rotatably guided by the plurality of support elements to rotate about the axis of rotation. The bearings provide redundancy to continue armature rotation in the event one bearing fails.
