title: UHV application of spring-loaded Teflon seals.
abstract: Large, bakeable, rotatable ultrahigh vacuum seals capable of operation at 10(-11) Torr are described. They employ doubly differentially pumped commercially available spring-loaded Teflon seals. A static version is very convenient for quick access as it requires nearly negligible sealing force other than atmospheric force.
