Gryscope Stabilizer for Vibration and Swing Control
Gryscope Stabilizer for Vibration and Swing Control
(OP)
I am working on a mechanical device that is to be suspended from a moving object. The mechanical device will inevitably swing and vibrate. One of my requirements is that the mechanical device is always pointing downwards. Will a gyroscope or gyro-stabilizer control this? Does anyone know of any gyro-stabilizer companies? The weight of the device is approx. 5-10kg.
Thanks
Thanks

The classic solution (if you can avoid resonances in the supporting structure) is to use a gyroscope to detect movements and have a servo (probably three axis) counteract the movement.
The modern piezo-electric gyroscopes are small static devices that need no maintenance and consume very little power. Murata is one producer and they make millions of them - so price is relatively low. Have a look at their product page http://www.murata.com/ninfo/nr0283e.html
