Motorised Gyroscope Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-EELE-11387
Quick Answer: The Motorised Gyroscope Apparatus spins a 300 mm stainless steel disc on a variable-speed motor in a yoke frame free to turn about the vertical axis, so the gyroscopic couple can be found from applied weights and precession.

About This Product
With the disc spinning, a known weight hung at a measured distance from the rotor centre applies a torque, and the frame precesses about the vertical axis. Reading the precession rate on the scale with the stop watch lets students determine the gyroscopic couple.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is torque applied to the gyroscope?
A weight is hung at a measured distance from the centre of the rotor, and the torque is calculated from the weight and that distance. A weight pan on the other side of the disc balances the weight of the motor.
How is precession measured?
A marked scale and pointer show the precession rate, timed with the electronic stop watch supplied.
