Abstract

A pivot or bearing arrangement for the pivotable control surface of a guidable missile, especially a projectile which can be fired through the intermediary of the gas pressure generated by a propellant charge. The pivot bearing includes a control surface support guided by a radial ball bearing, including a circular shoulder which axially contacts against a sealing ring which lies on a shoulder of the supportive tail end structure of the projectile and which is constituted of a resiliently deformable or compressible material.
