Introduction
A rigid frame with rotating bearings: The mechanical components in relative motion
are subjected to friction, which in turn leads to measurement drifts over time. The
main goal in gyroscope design is to build a frictionless and perfectly balanced device.
To minimize friction, high-precision bearings and special lubricants are used or, in
many critical applications, magnetic suspensions or fluid-suspended configurations.
Sensing systems (pick-offs): These are capable of reading angular displacements
between the two adjacent gimbals and to transduce them into electric signals by
means of potentiometers, resolvers or encoders, thus constituting the input for a
computing unit.
