Why Does The Magnetic Compass Appear To Be Self-sufficient?

Sep 15, 2019|

The magnetic compass, also known as the "magnetic compass", is an instrument used to measure the direction and is mainly used in ships or aircraft to determine the heading and to observe the object orientation. The ancient Sinan, the compass is its originator. It works by using an instrument that is magnetized to stabilize the direction of the north.

       The magnetic compass is simple in structure, and mainly consists of a plurality of magnetic needles, dials and magnetic error correcting devices arranged in parallel, and the magnetic needle is fixedly mounted on the back of the dial. Under the action of geomagnetism, the ends of the magnetic needle are directed to the north and south poles of the geomagnetism, and the dial is to convert the general direction into a precise degree. The magnetic error correction device is used to correct the self-difference of the magnetic compass. Because modern transportation ships are mostly large steel ships of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of tons, the mechanical equipment is mostly steel materials, which will lead to stronger ship magnetism, which will affect the magnetic compass, which is so large. Self-difference will cause the magnetic compass to have a pointing error of up to several tens of degrees. If the magnetic error correction device is not used for correction, a slight negligence will endanger the safety of the ship. The yacht magnetic compass produced by Ruian City Shunfeng Aviation Instrument Co., Ltd. is equipped with accurate magnetic error correction device, which can accurately indicate the direction.
