  • telgsümmeetriline jäik keha, mis kiiresti pöörleb ümber telje
  • spinning wheel or disc in which the axis of rotation is free to assume any orientation by itself
    Good to know
    • When rotating, the orientation of this axis is unaffected by tilting or rotation of the mounting, according to the conservation of angular momentum. Because of this, gyroscopes are useful for measuring or maintaining orientation.
güroskoop
Usage examples
  • Vähesel määral muutub ka güroskoobi kaldenurk ja tekitab vurri massikeskme lainelise liikumise - nutatsiooni.
gyroscope
Usage examples
  • Three gyroscopes rotating about perpendicular axes help to maintain the orientation of a spacecraft in space by detecting rotation about any of the axes and initiating a mechanism to correct it.

  • mehaaniline seade, mille abil saab impulsimomenti arvestades mõõta või säilitada ruumilist orientatsiooni
  • kiiresti pöörlev jäik keha, mille pöörlemistelje siht ruumis võib aja jooksul muutuda
  • mõõtevahend orientatsiooni mõõtmiseks ja säilitamiseks ruumis
  • device used for measuring or maintaining orientation and angular velocity
  • wheel or disk mounted to spin rapidly about an axis and also free to rotate about one or both of two axes perpendicular to each other and to the axis of spin so that a rotation of one of the two mutually perpendicular axes results from application of torque to the other when the wheel is spinning and so that the entire apparatus offers considerable opposition depending on the angular momentum to any torque that would change the direction of the axis of spin
  • device for measuring and maintaining orientation in space
vurrmõõtevahend preferred
Usage examples
  • Vurrmõõtevahendid põhinevad erinevatel mõõteprintsiipidel ja vastavalt sellele on olemas mehaanilised või mikroelektromehaanilised süsteemgüroskoobid, laser- või kiudoptilised güroskoobid või kvantgüroskoop.
Good to know
  • Mehaaniline vurrmõõtevahend sisaldab pöörlevat keha teljel, mis võib vabalt pöörduda mis tahes suunas.

gyroscope preferred
Usage examples
  • Gyroscopes are based on various principles: mechanical or microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) gyroscopes, laser or fibre optic gyroscopes or quantum gyroscope.
Good to know
  • Mechanical gyroscope contains a rotating body on an axis that can turn freely in any direction.
