The Model 1421 Scorsby Motion Test Table (230010-12) simulates the roll, pitch, and yaw motions of an aircraft during flight. It is primarily used for production, qualification testing, and exercising of gyroscopic aircraft instruments and is a standard in the aircraft industry. The Scorsby table can be operated from the front panel controls or through the remote communications interface. The front panel controls consist of a power switch, LCD display, and four keys: run/menu, increase, decrease, and enter. Full computer automation is accomplished via the RS-232 interface or an optional IEEE-488 interface. A closed loop motion control system consists of an optical encoder located on the high speed shaft of the gearmotor providing high resolution feedback for smooth Scorsby motion with a constant frequency.
This Model 1421 Scorsby Motion test table (230010-12) operates on 230 VAC at 50/60 Hz, 20 cycles per minute, and includes a pedestal.
- Variable speed from 1 to 10 cycles per minute
- RS-232 interface
- Automatic homing
- LCD displays current speed, number of cycles, and shaft position (depending on mode)
- Adjustable tilting head with engraved markings
- Positive stop allows for quickly setting the tilt head to frequently used positions
- Reversible oscillation with electronic cycle counter provides versatile testing from 1 to 99 cycles
- Integral bubble level and baseplate screws allows for quick leveling
- The motor and drive train is designed for reliability and long life
- Small and lightweight design allows for benchtop use
- Approved for aircraft gyroscopic instrument testing
- Anodized aluminum mounting platform offers durability and corrosion resistance
- Ball bearing design provides a smooth motion and extended life
- Precision ground tabletop mounting surface
