GYROSCOPIC DEVICE Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: measurement technology. SUBSTANCE: gyroscopic device is intended for use as transmitter of bearing angle data on guided rockets of close combat. It includes body, rotor in suspension, photooptical angle transmitter placed on body and interacting with mirror located on rotor uniaxially to axis of its own rotation. Mirror is manufactured in the form of spherical segment and is mounted with base of spherical segment on face surface of rotor with arrangement of center of sphere in point of suspension of rotor. Contrast mask placed in symmetry with plane passing through axis of own rotation of rotor, between two lines drawn through ends of arcs whose parameters are chosen from conditions given in description is fabricated on spherical surface of mirror. EFFECT: provision for expanded linear range of measured angles, increased measurement precision, simplified design and small dimensions. 4 dwg
