Description and Specification for Lab Tenders
Motorised Gyroscope Apparatus.
The set up consists of heavy stainless steel disc mounted on a
horizontal shaft, rotated by a variable speed motor. The rotor shaft is
coupled to a motor mounted on a trunion frame having bearings in a yoke
frame, which is free to rotate about vertical axis. A weight pan on
other side of disc balances the weight of motor. Rotor disc can be move
about three axis. Torque can be applied by calculating the weight and
distance of weight from the center of rotor. The gyroscopic couple can
be determined.
