Abstract
A support assembly for supporting a rotating body may include first and second supports defining first and second longitudinal support axes and configured to support the rotating body, such that the rotating body is rotatable relative to the first and second supports. A rotation axis about which the rotating body rotates may be transverse to the first and second longitudinal support axes. The support assembly may also include a spine coupled to the first and second supports. The support assembly may also include a motor associated with at least one of the first or second supports and configured to supply torque to rotate the rotating body. At least one of the spine, the first support, or the second support may define a recess configured to receive at least one of an electrical conductor or a data signals link associated with operation of the rotating body.
