The design of complex nanosystems with numerous moving parts is made complicated by the fundamental limits of chemical bonding and the possible interfaces between moving parts that can be achieved with certain nanostructures.  It is possible that this spatial quantization of atomically precise building materials may also be used to drive the self-assembly of some nanosystems, greatly simplifying the assembly process.  The nesting of appropriately sized carbon nanotubes, such as shown here, can serve as a strong driving force for molecular bearing self-assembly.

This molecular [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_%28mechanical_device%29 differential gear] was designed by K. Eric Drexler and Ralph Merkle sometime around 1995 while working together at Xerox PARC. In the animated sequence above, you can clearly see the casing and six components of the internal assembly as each is hidden in the cutaway view.
