A rotating substrate support for use in a substrate processing system includes a cylindrical shaped outer hub having a first end, a second end, a wall that extends from the first end to the second end, and a central opening formed through the wall. The wall includes an inner surface, an outer surface, and a flexible region. A circumferential groove is formed in the outer surface of the wall and within the flexible region and includes a gap that extends in a first direction. The inner surface of the wall defines at least a portion of an inner region of the cylindrical shaped outer hub. A first support plate is coupled to a first portion of the inner surface, and a second support plate coupled to a second portion of the inner surface. An expandable actuator is configured to change a size of the gap by adjusting a distance in the first direction between the second support plate and the first support plate.
