The YDK (Yokogawa) MKT007 Gyro Sphere for CMZ-900 Gyrocompass is a new, high-quality component that ensures reliable performance for marine navigation systems. Designed to detect true north, the CMZ-900 Gyrocompass relies on a fast-spinning rotor suspended with no friction, offering the ship’s heading information influenced by the Earth’s rotation and gravity. The MKT007 Gyro Sphere is compatible with this system and offers accurate heading data for precise navigation.
Key Features of the MKT007 Gyro Sphere:
- Stable Heading Data: If you experience unstable heading data, check the current of the Gyro Sphere. Normally, it should be between 220-230 mA. Exceeding 270 mA indicates it’s time to replace the unit, with the upper limit at 300 mA.
- Long Lifespan: The Gyro Sphere lasts about 5 years with regular annual inspections. Both the Gyro Sphere and Gyrocompass need their supporting fluid and gasket sets replaced during these inspections.
- Space-Saving Design: The modular design of the CMZ-900 saves space and integrates the master compass into the autopilot system, making it a great choice for compact setups.
- Superior Vibration Resistance: With a unique anti-vibration mechanism and high-viscosity oil damping, the system decouples shocks, ensuring steady readings, even in rough seas.
- Emergency Maintenance: In case of emergency, the ship’s crew can replace the Gyro Sphere without needing extensive tools, reducing downtime.
