Gyroscope [...] Le corps solide en rotation est supporté dans son carter par l’intermédiaire de deux paliers à roulements à billes ou quelquefois à gaz assurant la liberté de la rotation du gyroscope autour de son axe de révolution.

Un palier lubrifié au gaz est un type de palier qui a ses surfaces de contact complètement séparées grâce à une couche de gaz. Même si une force est appliquée au palier, les surfaces restent hors de contact grâce à un coussin de gaz. [...] Les paliers à gaz ont certainement des avantages particuliers par rapport aux autres types de suspension : tout d’abord, ils permettent un fonctionnement avec un minimum de frottement; ensuite, ils protègent le moteur d’un environnement polluant; enfin, ils peuvent opérer dans une gamme de températures assez étendue. 3, record 2, French, - palier%20%C3%A0%20gaz%20cylindrique
