ABSTRACT:
A dither suspension for a ring laser gyroscope includes a central hub and a plurality of blades extending therefrom. One half of the blades are connected to a support ring, and the other half are connected to a support base that is fixed to the case. The support ring includes a boss extending from the ends thereof facing outward toward the ring laser gyroscope frame. The bosses contact the ring laser gyroscope frame so that a void is formed between the bosses and the frame, which prevents transmission of radially directed stresses from the dither flexure to the frame.
