Instruments - Gyro's
Friction and balance are critical for gyroscopic instruments to perform as they
should.
Your gyro must:
- be very clean
- correctly assembled
- have smooth bearings and a balanced rotor
- be calibrated
Prior to any maintenance, your instrument is tested and evaluated, keeping in mind
the reported fault. When we disassemble, clean and inspect the parts prior to assembly,
you are assured that they meet their original quality.
What we do:
- critical bearings are replaced with OEM supplied parts.
- when your rotor requires overhaul it is completely rebuilt, balanced and run-in
until it meets manufacturer's tolerances before it is installed.
- OEM replacement parts are used.
- assembled to the tolerances and specifications of the manufacturer.
- hermetically sealed units are leak tested and gas filled.
- the unit is calibrated to meet performance requirements of the OEM.
Then finally, a complete functional test is performed to ensure all functions are
working correctly. Test results are documented for future reference and record keeping.
Always remember to care for your gyro as we do:
- Never moving it around until the rotor has completely stopped running.
- Never place it, no matter how carefully, on a hard surface.
- Always keep your gyro packaged whenever it is not installed in the aircraft.
- Ship your gyro in approved shipping containers.
