TANK ARMAMENT STABILISER Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC F41G5/24 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: tank armament stabiliser includes drives of vertical and horizontal guidance, cannon, actuation device mechanically connected to cannon through gear segment, control unit and cannon absolute speed sensor and unit of sensors and auxiliary devices, which are connected to it. According to invention, power amplifier, control unit equipped with signal processing module, actuation device with built-in cannon position sensor is introduced; at that, cannon position sensor and actuation device itself are electrically connected to control unit, and drive of vertical guidance is electrical and includes electrical cylinder consisting of electric motor with rotor position sensor electrically connected to power amplifier, and power screw reversible gear which is mechanically connected to shaft of electric motor in order to provide the possibility of cannon rotation, and together with it through gear segment and shaft of guidance device to position sensor in the direction set with unit of sensors and auxiliary devices.

EFFECT: improving stabilisation accuracy, reducing the time of non-stabilised condition, maximum follow-up rate, reducing combustion hazard and improving ease of maintenance and repair.
