Gyroscope with compensation for rotor shaft deflection w.r.t. housing - has pick-up with housing reference axis and angle pick=ups fixed to rotor

摘要

A gyroscope has a housing contg. a rotor and shaft and angle pick-ups with a first part fixed to the rotor and a second part fixed to the housing. The pick-ups produce a signal corresp. to the relative positions of the gyroscope rotor and housing. The output signals are produced without inducing faulty deviations or shifts of the rotor drive shaft and associated gyro drift or signal errors. A third pick-up part on the shaft produces the position signal w.r.t. a housing reference axis compensated for deflection errors.
