Abstract

Oil leaks from the hydrostatic bearing runner joint areas of the 64-m antenna installations at DSS 43 and DSS 63 have been the cause of concern since the erection of these antennas. This article describes the type of leak tests made on a model of the joint seal, the possible causes for leaks, and results after replacing the joint seals at DSS 63.
