Some single-axis floated integrating rate gyroscopes are designed with float suspension systems that have sensible radial compliance; when angular velocities are impressed about output axis of units, resulting gyroscopic torque about input axis causes float to cock within gyro housing; complete equations of motion for single-axis floated gyro, taking into account float-cocking degree of freedom are presented and implications of phenomenon for gyro test, system application, and gyro design are considered; approximate expressions for squeeze-film damping constant are developed.
