Hub of the wheel?

Nope.

Tidally locked planet

Nope.

a record? it seems that it is something that revolves becasue the outter portion is moving while the center is not...

Not a record, but you're on the right track..

Hmm. So it spins in place, and is either circular or spherical (most likely).

Is it a cog (a gear wheel)? As in clockwork?

Not exactly, it's part of the machine, but seperate as well.

The core of a star?

(The number 0?)

Nope, *think smaller*

A running track?

Nope.

The center of gravity?

Nope.

A spoke? Or wheel?

Like the other answers said, it spins. But it is not a wheel either!

I support the whole structure.

But I am not a shell.

My partners are self-destructive,

and they need me to keep going.

But without them I would slow down,

and have no point.

My outer rim runs marathons,

Yet I stay in one place.

What am I?

HINT: Think *machine*

Until you said 'think machine', I was thinking it sounded a bit like Earth, and how the Earth's core does some weird stuff.

Oooh! Is it a gyroscope?

It spins, but nope.

a gyroscope

a gyro

reaction wheels ?

turbine

windmill ?

edit: dont ninja me Vexx I was going to say gyroscope

Turbine, windmill, these are closer to the answer. But nope to all.

Car engine fan?

Nope.

Riddle again for new page:

I support the whole structure.

But I am not a shell.

My partners are self-destructive,

and they need me to keep going.

But without them I would slow down,

and have no point.

My outer rim runs marathons,

Yet I stay in one place.

or is it just the CPU?

No (Another partner, though)

Remember, I likened it to a turbine or windmill as a hint last page.

(And as a "specific kind of fan" with a specific purpose)

ah Cantab already guessed CPU fan, so the more general Cooling fan?

BINGO!

EDIT: I also completely missed cantab's answer, somehow. But I wasn't thinking of that anyhow, so..

(riddle with explanation)

I support the whole structure. - I cool everything down.

But I am not a shell. - I am not the casing.

My partners are self-destructive,

and they need me to keep going. -Without me they would overheat, and crash.

But without them I would slow down,

and have no point. - I need the computers inputs to determine how fast I run, without any, not at all.

My outer rim runs marathons,

Yet I stay in one place. - I spin around. REALLY fast.

What am I? - I am a computer cooling fan.

Your turn, B787.
