diameter of the movable part (12) antipodal to the axis of rotation (XX), - wherein the fixed part (8) and the movable part (12) are connected to each other at an inner circular interface (20), corresponding to an inner
diameter on the side of the axis of rotation (XX), and at an outer circular interface (24), corresponding to an outer
diameter, opposite the inner diameter along a radial direction (RR) perpendicular to and intersecting the axis of rotation (XX), - wherein the rotating structure (4) comprises a first position band (28) with indices and at least one first position
encoder (32) configured for optical reading of the first position band (28) in order to provide a measurement of the angular position of the moving part (12), or
encoder - wherein the rotating structure (4) comprises a first velocity band (36) with indices and at least one first velocity
encoder (40) configured for optical reading of the first velocity band (36) in order to provide a measurement of the
angular velocity of the moving part (12), - wherein the first position band (28) and the first position
transmitter (32) are arranged according to the inner circular interface (20), - wherein the first speed band (36) and the first speed sensor (40) are arranged according to the outer circular interface (24), - wherein the first speed sensor (40) and the first
position sensor (32) are functionally connected to the drive means (16) to enable
feedback control of the drive of the drive means (16).
