                Moog Inc. Acquires SCHAEFFER MAGNETICS


EAST AURORA, N.Y. /PRNewswire/ -- MOOG Inc. (Amex:  MOG.A and MOG.B)
announced today that it has completed the acquisition of SCHAEFFER
MAGNETICS, Inc., a leading supplier to the space industry of motion
control devices and systems.

SCHAEFFER MAGNETICS, a family-owned company, was founded in 1967 by
its Chief Executive Officer, Ernest Schaeffer, and has been dedicated
to the space industry from its start.  The Company, which employs 150
people in Chatsworth, California, has grown to $20 million in revenue. 
The products are mainly electromechanical actuators and motion control
systems for the positioning of solar panels, antennae and optical
devices in satellite and space vehicles.

"SCHAEFFER MAGNETICS is known for its technical excellence and its
superior customer service and support," said Robert T. Brady, Chairman
and CEO of MOOG Inc.  "We intend to operate the Company so that those
qualities are maintained at their highest level.  The Company will
remain in its present location and we will keep its staff intact. 
Mr. Schaeffer has entered into a long term consulting agreement. 
Jay Hennig, formerly Director of Sales and Programs for Moog's Space
Products Division, will be the General Manager of this new division."

"This acquisition gives us more integration in the commercial
satellite business," said Mr. Brady, "and will be an excellent
complement to our existing product line.  MOOG'S Satellite and Launch
Vehicle business provided approximately 14% of our $456 million
revenues in fiscal '97 and has been growing at nearly 15% per year
since 1995.  SCHAEFFER'S growth in this field has been over 27% per
year for the same period.  We expect that it will be immediately
accretive to earnings."

Moog Inc. is a worldwide manufacturer of high performance controls
used on commercial and military aircraft, satellites and space
vehicles and industrial applications.
