PENDULOUS OSCILLATING GYROSCOPE AND GYROSCOPIC ACCELEROMETER, AND MULTISENSOR AND AMPLITUDE OSCILLATING GYROSCOPE

摘要

A pendulous oscillating gyroscope and accelerometer (10a) comprising a fixed case (22a); a servo driven member (16a) mounted to the case for oscillation about a servo axis (C); a torque summing member (14a) mounted to the servo driven member (16a) for rotation about an output axis (B) transverse to the servo axis (C); a rotor driven member (12a) mounted to the torque summing member (14a) for oscillation about a reference axis (A) transverse to both the output axis (A) and the servo axis (C); a pendulosity (28a) carried by at least one of the torque summing member (14a) and the rotor driven member (12a) to create a mass imbalance about an output axis (B); a first oscillation device for oscillating the rotor driven member (12a) about the reference axis (A); a second oscillation device for oscillating the servo driven member (16a) about the servo axis (C); a measurement device for determining the rotation of the torque summing member (14a) about the output axis (B) resulting from pendulosity torque caused by acceleration of the pendulosity (28a).
