ABSTRACT:
A non-tumbling limit stop for limiting the relative motion between a strure and a gyroscope pivotably mounted thereon. The limit stop employs frictional contact forces to cause the gyroscope to precess away from the stop rather than tangent to it, and thus preventing tumbling of the gyroscope while enabling high slew rates of the gyroscope spin axis.
