Abstract

The article compares the test results for gimballess electrostatic gyroscopes containing rotors with a light-contrast pattern applied to titanium nitride (TiN) coating or to beryllium. The criteria for comparing the devices with different types of rotors are proposed and justified. The need to modify the rotor manufacturing technology in order to improve the rotor design and mature some technological operations is analyzed. It has been shown that at a certain stage it is rational to mark the raster pattern on the titanium nitride coating, and currently the pattern can be again applied directly to the rotor beryllium surface.
