Abstract
A motor including a rotor, a first arm, a mount, a stator, a first bearing, and a second bearing. The motor is configured to rotate the rotor. The mount connected to the first arm. The stator coupled to the mount. The first bearing located between and connecting the rotor to the stator. The second bearing located between and connecting the rotor to the mount. The first arm prevents movement of the stator and the mount.
