A compass with a motorized gyroscope whose angular momentum interacts with the force produced by the earth’s rotation to maintain a north-south orientation of the gyroscopic spin axis, thereby providing a stable directional reference.

]]> Standard 22 Gyro Compass

Raytheon Anschütz is the market leader for sophisticated gyro compass technology with more than 100 years of experience. The Standard 22 combines proven technology and long maintenance intervals with advanced features. Its accuracy, reliability, and cost effectiveness over lifetime make the Standard 22 the most popular gyro compass in the market – sold for more than18,000 times. TheStandard 22 gyro compass is type approved in accordance with IMO standards.

The Standard 22 gyro compass was designed as a modular system to meet customer requirements. The system consists of up to three gyro compasses and can include an operator unit and a distribution unit. Another gyro, a magnetic compass, a satellite compass, and/or an external rate-of-turn gyro can be integrated as additional sensors. A wide range of accessories is available.

Anschütz gyro compasses are known for their superior accuracy and reliability even under harshest environmental conditions. With the Standard 22, operational safety was dramatically increased due to a patented data transmission technology that completely replaces the use of slip rings. Today its robust design makes Standard 22 the first choice for safety-sensitive vessels such as offshore / platform supply vessels or cruise ships.
