METHOD DETERMINING ACCELERATION COMPONENTS BY ELECTROMAGNETIC SUSPENSION OF ROTOR OF GYRO Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: gyros, gyroscopic inclinometers and gyroscopic compasses. SUBSTANCE: electromagnetic suspension has four axes. Damping of oscillations of rotor of gyro along each axis is performed by four-terminal networks. Voltages are measured across terminals of four- terminal networks. Difference of voltages on each axis along electromagnetic suspension is determined across terminals of four-terminal networks and acceleration components acting along axes of base of gyro are found from mathematical expressions that include acceleration components acting along axes of base of gyro, constant coefficients for given gyro, acceleration components acting along axes of electromagnetic suspension proportional to difference of voltages across terminals of four-terminal networks. EFFECT: increased accuracy of measurement of acceleration components. 2 dwg
