Rotating conductive heat transfer device

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A rotating conductive, heat transfer device is, provided. The device includes an outer race having an axis an, inner race coaxial with the outer race and a plurality of, bearing balls disposed in a radial direction between the inner race and the outer race. The device also includes a plurality of separators disposed alternately in a peripheral direction between the bearing balls. The device has a first track and a second track, supported by the inner race for supporting the, separators. The inner race has a first fixed, inner ring, portion with a first bearing surface and has a second, separable, inner ring portion with a second bearing surface. The outer race has a third bearing surface …
