Rotor for control moment gyroscopes and reaction wheel assemblies

摘要

A rotor for a gyroscopic device is constructed by fabricating a unitary assembly comprising a rim, a hollow shaft, a hub at each end of the shaft, a web that extends radially inward from the rim to one of the hubs at angle to rotor spin axis and machining the assembly. A second web may be welded between the rim and the second hub.
