The Development of Casing Seals for Flotation Gyroscopes

Abstract

The deficiencies are discussed of the piston ring type of rubber seal commonly used in flotation gyroscope castings. Seal design and performance requirements and are listed, and several experimental models are described. Tests were made under various conditions of pressure and temperature, and one of the experimental seals satisfied all the requirements and appeared to be suitable for gyroscope application.
