Controlled pendulum. The gyro spinning wheel is running at constant speed. The precession drive, which lies in a plane symmetric with respect to the gimbal is controlled to create a precession rate of the spinning wheel. Measurement of the rotation angle around the horizontal axis perpendicular to the symmetry plane of the gimbal is used to perform the precession control. This control aims to keep the center of gravity of the gimbal assembly over the rotation axis. The commanded precession rate is such that the gyroscopic torque counterbalances the gravity torque and the disturbing torques ... 1, record 2, English, - commanded%20precession%20rate

The motion induced in a gyroscope by an applied force follows a simple rule. When the spinning top, for example, is acted upon by a gravity-induced torque, the original rotational motion tries to align itself with the added rotational motion of the torque. The motion, or precession, of the gyroscope that results is perpendicular to the applied torque. In other words, the spin vector tries to align itself with the torque vector; ... 2, record 7, English, - gravity%20torque

In gyroscopes, degrees of freedom refer to the restraints imposed upon the gyroscope wheel spin axis. Any rotation about the input axis will result in a precession of the gyroscope wheel. Thus, a voltage from the gyroscope pickoff will cause the wheel-gimbal stabilizing motor to drive and return the gyroscope wheel to its zero precession angle. 1, record 10, English, - precession%20of%20the%20gyroscope%20wheel
