Abstract: The dynamically tuned gyroscope (DTG) is the most common two degree of freedom gyroscope it is widely used in modern compact gyroscope. Basically three types of coils are used in DTG Gyro first is Torquer coil, second Stator coil and third Pickoff coil. The process of increasing number of turn more than 416 in torquer motor coil without increasing dimensional parameter of coil is a specialized method, it improves scale factor of torquer motor coil and achieve better restoring torque on the wheel by which quick stabilization of flywheel in datum position is possible.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
Improvement in Torquer Scale factor by increasing the number of turn more
than 416 in torquer motor coil.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Torquer assemblies are used in dynamically tuned gyroscope apparatus to
provide a restoring torque on the gyroscope inertia ring, the restoring torque
necessary to maintain the ring in a datum position being a measure of the
rate of displacement of the gyroscope.
For better restoring torque it is necessary to increase number of turn of
torquer coil within limited space. However, challenge was to maintain the
same tolerance levels of resistance and produce coils of same maximum
width and height of existing torquer coil (with less than 400 turns) which is
very difficult to achieve.
SUMMARY OF PRESENT INVENTION
The invention is more particularly concerned with electromagnetic torquer
assemblies for dynamically‐tuned gyroscopes. The torquer 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
minimum.
Increasing the number of turn more than 416 in torquer motor coils
assembly in gyroscope helps in achieving better restoring torque on flywheel
and quickly stabilized flywheel in datum position.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The details of torquer system are shown in fig 2 the magnets are fixed on the
wheel and the torquer coils are mounted on gyro case.
Torquer coil: One number of Torquer coil assembly is used in each Gyro
motor as shown in fig 1. Torquer coil assembly consists of four coils
mounted on support with glue Ecobond 104 A+B as shown in fig 3.
Flat elliptical torquer coil is made with help of winding tool as shown in fig
4.
Detail dimension and resistance of flat torquer coil more than 416 turn is
given bellow as shown in fig 5:
1) Maximum height of coil = 7.4mm
2) Maximum Width of coil = 1.45 mm
3) Maximum length of coil = 16 mm
4) Maximum Resistance with coil at 20°C =33 Ω
After fabrication of flat torquer coils it is bended to cylindrical shape by
use of bending tool and four bended coils mounted on support two coil in
x axis and two coil in y axis with glue as shown in fig 3.
Torquer motor coil is responsible for aligning the Gyro wheel to its
stabilised position by utilizing the feedback received from pick‐off coil.
Annexure‐II
For aligning the Gyro wheel to its stabilised position necessary current
proportional to the angular deviation of casing w.r.t Gyro wheel flows to
torquer coil which produce a magnetic field which interact with the fields
produced by the permanent magnets and thereby apply a restoring torque
to the inertia wheel.
