Abstract
An antivibration elastic suspension in which a chassis of an inertial measurement unit is placed inside a casing. The inertial measurement unit includes a gyro assembly that is fixed to the chassis by two support rings flexible in terms of torsion and rotation around a fixed axis of the chassis. At least one flexible annular diaphragm is coaxial with the fixed axis and the flexible annular diaphragm is fixed by an interior periphery to an exterior periphery of the chassis and by an exterior periphery to an interior wall of the casing. The flexible annular diaphragm respects a symmetry of revolution exhibited by the gyro assembly with respect to the fixed axis.
