APERIODIC SUSPENSION FOR SMALL-SIZED LASER GYRO Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: laser gyros operating in wide range of temperatures. SUBSTANCE: monoblock is manufactured from material having low coefficient of thermal expansion. Base and linking plate are used to anchor monoblock. Axially symmetric adhesive joint is inserted between monoblock and linking plate. Monoblock and linking plate have two holes each as minimum. Lockpins in the form of cylinder segment are made of material of monoblock and are cemented into holes in pairs with cylindrical surfaces to form air gap between members of pair. Torsion bar is fixed simultaneously on base and linking plate. Torsion bar is made composite in the form of three or more elastic members with piezoelements arranged in symmetry. Linking plate is also fabricated from material of monoblock. EFFECT: minimum of mechanical stresses emerging with anchoring, vibrations and variations of temperature, stability of resonance frequency of aperiodic suspension. 7 dwg
