  • Page 3: Section 1: Mechanical Installation

    This document is intended to give details and guidance to a boat builder or equipment installer to install the Seakeeper, Inc. Model 7000A Stabilizing Gyro. The gyro is capable of producing loads up to 23.5 kN (5300 lbs.) on each foundation saddle and careful consideration should be given to foundation design to insure it is capable of transferring these loads into the hull.
  • Page 4 Product: Document #: Rev: Page: INSTALLATION MANUAL MODEL 7000A GYRO 90051 2 of 10 Section 1: MECHANICAL INSTALLATION Precautions • Gyro flywheel is supported by precision bearings. Make certain while unpacking and lifting gyro assembly to NOT drop or impart mechanical shock as damage to bearings could result.

  • Page 6 Document #: Rev: Page: INSTALLATION MANUAL MODEL 7000A GYRO 90051 4 of 10 Section 1: MECHANICAL INSTALLATION Refer to Figure 2B for recommended clearances to transverse beams. If a transverse beam is located under the forward brace, it must be 3” (76 mm) from the edge of the saddle beams to provide the necessary clearance for the swing of the motor power cable during gyro precession.
  • Page 7 ). The starboard saddle bond area is 310 (2002 cm Seakeeper has an optional installation jig available, P/N 90012, that is intended to duplicate the gyro foundation geometry in order to check clearances and alignment. The jig will allow the builder / installer to lay-up and adjust the foundation dimensions to create a low-clearance fit between the gyro foundation saddles and the hull structure.
