Description
The YDK Yokogawa MKT007 Gyro Sphere is the heart of the CMZ-900 Gyrocompass. It helps ships find true north by using a fast-spinning rotor. This rotor floats without friction, offering smooth and reliable heading data.
Accurate navigation is vital at sea. If your compass gives unstable readings, check the current of the Gyro Sphere. It should stay between 220–230 mA. When it crosses 270 mA, it’s time to replace the unit. Above 300 mA, replacement becomes urgent.
With proper care, this unit lasts about five years. Annual maintenance includes replacing the support fluid and gasket set. These simple steps keep your compass running strong and safe.
The CMZ-900 system is compact and clever. Its modular design saves space and connects easily to the ship’s autopilot. Moreover, its anti-vibration setup and high-viscosity damping oil help in rough weather. This keeps your readings steady, even in tough seas.
Need a quick fix? The MKT007 Gyro Sphere can be swapped onboard. No special tools are needed, so your crew can handle it fast.
We always keep the MKT007 in stock. You’ll also find spare parts like containers and O-rings. We ship globally and cover all Turkish ports.
