eli5, How can things like tankturrets and excavators spin?

571 views

Is there not like a bunch of electronic components that would get twisted and ruined of they just kept spinning? Or is there a limit to how many rotations they can do before needing to counterspin?

Imagine there is a train track going in a circle under the turret/cabin/ECT. The turret has little gears or wheels that run along that on either side of it lined up with the circle track. As they go along the track, it makes the turret spin.
