Section 1: SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Seakeeper gyro precession is actively controlled by an electronic controller and a hydraulic brake
throughout each roll cycle so the gyro supplies the maximum anti ‐ roll torque and does not make
mechanical contact with hard stops that limit the maximum gimbal angle travel to +/ ‐ 60
o
.
There is a large torque about the gimbal axis when the gyro is precessing.
Therefore, the gyro should be housed in a compartment or installed in a cage so
personnel cannot come into contact with the gyro while it is precessing. If it is ever
necessary to touch the gyro while the flywheel is spinning, the Lock button on the
Keypad must be depressed to stop the gyro from precessing. Gyro maintenance
should not be attempted unless the gyro is locked and the flywheel has stopped
spinning .
