Function of Gyro Stabilizer
This gyro stabilizer is a device that creates an
anti-roll torque that reduces the tilting of the
boat using the gyroscopic principle.
Anti-roll torque is generated by the combined
effect of having a high-inertia flywheel rotat-
ing inside the gyro sphere and the sphere
tilting around the precession axis. The preces-
sion movement is automatically created by
the gyro, when subjected to the sea roll, and is
dynamically adjusted by the control unit, that
regulates the braking effect of two hydrau-
lic cylinders, to transmit the optimal anti-roll
torque to the boat.
