Gyroscope

The Gyroscope, allows the demonstration of the gyroscopic effects and enables the relationship between the gyroscopic couple and the direction of rotation (or precession) of the gyroscope axis to be determined.

A gyroscope is used in aviation and the aerospace industry to stabilise the position or as a navigation tool in so-called inertial navigation. The basic element of a gyroscope is a rapidly rotating mass. A free gyro tends to maintain the position of its rotational axis in space independently of gravity.

If the gyro wheel is mounted in a gimbal, it is referred to as a guided gyroscope. Learn about Gyroscope specifications for optimal educational outcomes.. If a force acts on a guided gyroscope perpendicular to the axis of rotation, the gyroscope exerts a moment: the gyroscopic moment. The rotation perpendicular to the axis of rotation is known as precession. Learn about Gyroscope Engineering Mechanics Trainers India for optimal educational outcomes.. A gyroscope therefore has three axes: the axis of rotation (spin axis), the precession axis (output axis) and the axis of the gyroscopic effect that triggers the gyroscopic moment (input axis). All are perpendicular to each other. Learn about Gyroscope for educational labs for optimal educational outcomes.. The TM 630 unit demonstrates the properties of guided gyroscopes. The moments caused by the precession can be experimentally determined. Learn about Gyroscope suppliers for optimal educational outcomes..

• Two motors:
• Rotating motor, speed range: 0 – 6000 rpm.
• Precession motor, speed range: 0 – 60 rpm.
  Both motors are electronically regulated and independently controlled. They can rotate clockwise or anticlockwise.
  Transparent protective cover, made of PMMA, provides protection against the rotating parts and enables different experiments to be
  observed. This cover includes a safety switch, which allows automatically stops the two electrical motors if the cover is opened.
