A seal is described which permits rotation of large circular sections or ports in the walls of a vacuum chamber. The seal is an unlubricated Tec-Ring (a Teflon O-ring with a core of rubber), and the friction is low even at large diameters. The behavior of such a seal is compared with that of a lubricated Neoprene or Silastic O-ring. (D.L.C.)
