R22 swashplate

Hi folks
Just one silly question: i know that the stationary plate is mounted on a ball joint around the main rotor mast which in turn can slide up and down in response to inputs from the collective, but does actually prevent the fixed stationary portion of the swashplate from rotating with the mrs?
I know that the upper rotating part is connected to the mrs via the yoke assembly comprised of the scissors and of the counterweight to balance the scissors, so that it is spun by the mrs.

Happy landings from a plank driver in love with rotary wings
