A marine gyrocompass repeater is a crucial component for vessels that require multiple locations to display accurate heading information. The repeater works by receiving data from the primary gyrocompass and displaying it in real-time on additional monitoring stations located around the vessel. This ensures that the crew can access navigation data from various points on […]

The mechanical gyrocompass is the traditional form of gyrocompass used for marine navigation. It operates based on the principle of a spinning gyroscope, which maintains its orientation due to the Earth’s rotation. Unlike magnetic compasses, which can be influenced by local magnetic fields, the mechanical gyrocompass is unaffected by such interference. It provides a stable […]
The Ring Laser Gyro (RLG) is another advanced gyroscope used in marine navigation. It operates by using laser beams that are circulated in a ring, allowing for precise measurement of angular changes. RLGs are known for their high accuracy and reliability in determining a vessel’s heading, even under rough sea conditions. These gyros are immune […]
A gyrocompass is a type of compass that automatically aligns itself with the Earth’s rotational axis, providing an accurate and stable indication of true north. Unlike traditional magnetic compasses, gyrocompasses are unaffected by the Earth’s magnetic field, which can be distorted by local variations. This makes them ideal for use in large ships, submarines, and […]
A magnetic compass works by aligning a magnetized needle or card to the Earth’s magnetic field. Mounted in a fluid-filled bowl, it remains stable due to gimbals. The compass shows direction relative to magnetic north, helping navigators steer accurately even during rough sea conditions.
The Saura MR-180 is one of the most advanced models in the MR series. Designed for modern vessels, it delivers superior stability, readability, and accuracy. In India, marine dealers stock this compass and offer complete calibration and integration services.
