ABSTRACT:
A gyroscope inertia ring torquer has an inertia ring formed of an annular sleeve of magnetic material around which are mounted two annular permanent magnets. The permanent magnets produce radially directed fields of opposite polarities. The torquer also has four fixed electrical coils equally spaced outwardly of the inertia ring around a portion of the gyroscope casing, of a magnetic material. The coils are arranged, when energized, to produce radial magnetic fields which interact with the fields produced by the permanent magnets and thereby apply a restoring torque to the inertia ring. The permanent magnets are spaced from one another such that the torque produced by the interaction of the magnets with the casing is a minimum.
