Abstract
A suspension for a gyroscopic float assembly in a floating gyroscope system comprises a pair of flexures that each have an outer rim and a plurality of flexure beams extending from the outer rim. A plurality of flexure tabs extend outward from outer perimeter portions of the rims for mounting the flexure assembly to a pair of end caps. A plurality of strain relief passages formed in the rims is arranged to provide relief from thermally induced stresses. A plurality of angular stops formed in inner perimeter portions of the rims is arranged to constrain the flexure against rotation about a selected axis.
