The first type of gyroscopic instrument to successfully reduce gimbal bearing friction to an acceptable level for precision applications was the floated gyroscope. In this instrument the rotating member is sealed within a hollow cylinder which forms the inner gimbal of the gyro. This is mounted in the gyro case whith a fluid surrounding the cylinder; the density of the fluid is chosen so as to exactly float the cylinder, thus removing the weight of the inner gimbal from the bearings and greatly relieving the bearing frictional load. 2, record 1, English, - floated%20gyroscope

The actual gyroscope is floated on a film of liquid, and it is called a floating gyroscope to distinguish it from the pendulous type in which the gyroscope unit is suspended and hangs under gravity. 9, record 1, English, - floated%20gyroscope

Le gyroscope [...] baigne dans un liquide très visqueux, à une température de l'ordre de 60 à 80 °C, dont le rôle est double : 1- La viscosité importante sert d'amortissement 2- La densité est telle que ce liquide de flottaison donne une poussée d'Archimède qui équilibre le poids apparent. Ce qui réduit les efforts d'appui sur les paliers et donc les couples de frottement. Un tel dispositif porte bien son nom de gyroscope flottant. 4, record 1, French, - gyroscope%20flottant

La conservation du moment cinétique a donné lieu aux gyroscopes à toupie flottée, aux gyroscopes à toupie accordée (SEC) et au gyroscope à suspension électrostatique (GSE). Les gyroscopes flottés ont une toupie en flottaison dans un fluide qui compense les pertes par frottements. 3, record 1, French, - gyroscope%20flottant

Un corps de révolution, comme une toupie qui tourne très vite autour de son axe et qui est suspendue sans contrainte, garde son axe de rotation pointé vers une direction fixe de l'espace (étoile dans le ciel par exemple) et s'oppose à tout changement de cette direction [...] C'est sur ce principe que fonctionnent les gyroscopes mécaniques. 1, record 2, French, - corps%20de%20r%C3%A9volution

L'équilibrage [des roues] est nécessaire pour supprimer les effets d'un balourd de l'ensemble tournant qui peut créer des vibrations. Ne pas équilibrer, c'est s'exposer à : - Une usure prématurée des organes de suspension, de direction, des roulements des cardans, des pneumatiques .. - Un inconfort de conduite à cause des vibrations. 2, record 3, French, - frottement%20des%20roulements%20du%20cardan

La première chose à installer, c'est un kit de roulements à billes. Ils remplaceront les bagues en plastique ou en métal rose. Un roulement est composé de deux bagues une intérieure et une extérieure. Elles sont mises en contact par l'intermédiaire de bille en acier trempé, le tout est scellé. Le frottement d'un roulement est quasiment nul et il n'y a pas d'usure. L'installation de roulements est obligatoire avant le remplacement du moteur par un plus puissant. 3, record 3, French, - frottement%20des%20roulements%20du%20cardan
