The Statement of Design and Application Questions for the Gyroscope with a Gas-dynamic Suspension of Ball Rotor in the Navigation Support Drilling System

The general issues of creation the inertial navigation system are considered. Analysis of the possible implementation of the gyroscope with a gas-dynamic suspension of ball rotor for using it as a sensor in the information and measuring complex is provided. The permissible layout construction is proposed. The software system variants for the mathematical modelling of the main gas-dynamic bearing characteristics are considered. Mathematical modelling is essential to extend and optimize the design parameters of the developed gyroscopic construction. Some results of modelling, theoretical evaluation and preliminary experimental studies are summarized
