GYROSCOPIC FORCE MEASURING SYSTEM

Abstract:
This paper concerns the development of an entirely new sensor (called Gyroscopic Force Measuring System, or simply called GFMS) for measuring a force vectorially. The principle and the dynamical characteristics of the GFMS for measuring a force vector are analyzed theoretically. Two auxiliary turntables (driven by servomechanisms) are installed around the gyroscope, in which turntables rotate to follow some angles of incidence of a force vector. Some unfavorable errors caused by various factors are analyzed. A compensation method is proposed as a device both for accurate force measurement and disturbance suppression. The feasibility of the proposed GFMS is confirmed by numerical simulations.
