  • Control moment gyroscope
    Patent number: 8205514
    Abstract: A control moment gyroscope (CMG) is provided for deployment on a spacecraft. The CMG includes a stator housing, an inner gimbal assembly disposed in the stator housing, and a torque motor coupled to the stator housing and at least partially disposed around an intermediate portion of the inner gimbal assembly. The torque motor is configured to rotate the inner gimbal assembly about a gimbal axis.
    Type: Grant

  • Method of constructing a rotor for a gyroscopic device
    Patent number: 7000308
    Abstract: A method of constructing a rotor for a gyroscopic device is provided comprising fabricating a unitary assembly comprising a rim, a hollow shaft, a hub at each end of the shaft, a web that extends radially inward from the rim to one of the hubs at an angle to a spin axis of the rotor and machining the assembly. A second web may be welded between the rim and the second hub.
