Description
The YDK Technologies KT005 (MKT005) is the precision hermetically sealed gyrosphere sensitive element engineered for Yokogawa CMZ-700 and CMZ-500 series commercial gyrocompasses.
The KT005 Gyro Sphere is a vital part of the Yokogawa CMZ500 and CMZ700 Gyrocompass systems. It ensures your ship gets clear and stable heading data.
Over time, gyro performance may decline. When you notice drifting or erratic headings, the KT005 may need attention. Its lifespan is about five years. However, yearly checks help prevent issues.
During annual inspections, it’s best to replace the supporting liquid and gaskets. These steps extend the lifespan of your compass. They also reduce long-term maintenance costs.
To simplify service, we offer a full Annual Service Kit. It includes fluid, gaskets, mercury (or mercury-free options), and O-rings. You get all parts in one box, ready to install.
Our kits fit CMZ500, CMZ700, and CMZ900 units. If you’re upgrading to a safer setup, we also supply mercury-free conversion kits.
Shipping is fast. We dispatch orders within 24 hours. For faster pickup, visit our local warehouse. Our packing is compact and secure.
Need help during voyage? No problem. Our marine engineers can replace gyro spheres onboard. They also offer full inspection and maintenance service, both locally and abroad.
Whether you manage a cargo ship or a passenger vessel, this unit keeps your systems working. With accurate data and reliable alerts, you stay on course—every time.
