Abstract: A tamper-resistant frictionless connector assembly includes an outer sleeve with a first end and a second end opposite to the first end along an axis. A first sealed ring bearing has first outer ring, inner ring, and bearings, where the first outer ring is directly coupled to the outer sleeve at the first end. An inlet adapter directly coupled to the first inner ring and not directly coupled to the outer sleeve. A second sealed ring bearing has a second outer ring, inner ring, and bearings, where the second outer ring is directly coupled to the outer sleeve at a second end. An outlet adapter directly coupled to the second inner ring and not directly coupled to the outer sleeve. A thrust axial bearing abutting the inlet and outlet adapters, where the sealed ring bearings, the inlet adapter, and the outlet adapter are aligned along the axis.
