[...] gyromètre [...] Le rappel élastique peut être obtenu par voie mécanique ou électrique. Les dispositifs de rappel mécanique sont soumis aux contraintes technologiques suivantes : non-linéarités (notamment hystérésis), limitant la précision de l'appareil, et fragilité, limitant la réduction du domaine de mesure (le domaine de mesure des gyromètres à rappel mécanique descend difficilement au-dessous de 20 degrés/s). Le rappel par asservissement électronique permet de se libérer de ces contraintes. [...] La précision obtenue est alors fonction de la qualité du moteur-couple à aimant permanent, et de la liaison entre boîtier et carter. Le remplacement du rappel mécanique par le rappel électrique permet [...] de passer de la classe 10-2 ou 10-3 [...] à la classe 10-4 et d'étendre les domaines de mesure, vers le bas, jusqu'à l'ordre de quelques degrés par heure. 1, record 4, French, - rappel%20%C3%A9lastique
