Abstract
A gyroscope caging system includes a clamping ring encircling a portion of the rotor of the gyro and adapted to engage an annular groove in the rotor simultaneously with engagement of a groove in a base support member, for clamping to and supporting the rotor during very high acceleration launches of a missile or airborne vehicle. The caging system is adapted to preload the gyroscope bearings in order to insure that the maximum load is carried by the cage device.
