AI-6 TORQUE DIFFERENTIAL TRANSMITTER (TDX)—A synchro that is functionally the same as the CDX except that it is used in torque systems rather than control systems. TORQUE RECEIVER (TR)—A type of synchro that converts the electrical input supplied to its stator back to a mechanical angular output through the movement of its rotor. TORQUE SYNCHRO SYSTEM—A synchro system that uses torque synchros to move light loads such as dials, pointers, and other similar devices. TORQUE TRANSMITTER (TX)—A synchro that is functionally the same as the CX except that it is used in torque synchro systems. TORQUE VECTOR—In a gyro, a vector representing the rotary motion applied to change the direction of the rotor axis. The torque vector represents the axis about which the applied force is felt. TRANSLATION—In a gyro, a force acting through the center of gravity of the gyro that causes no torque on the gyro rotor. Translation forces do not change the angle of the plane of rotation but move the gyroscope as a unit. TROUBLE INDICATORS—Signal lights used to aid maintenance personnel in locating synchro troubles quickly. TROUBLE TABLES—Tables of trouble symptoms and probable causes furnished by many manufacturers, with their equipment, to help technicians isolate synchro problems. VELOCITY SERVO SYSTEM—A servo system that controls the speed of the load it is driving. X-AXIS—In a gyro, the spin axis of the gyro. Y-AXIS—In a gyro, an axis through the center of gravity and perpendicular to the spin axis. Z-AXIS—In a gyro, an axis through the center of gravity and mutually perpendicular to both the spin (X) and Y axes. ZEROING—The process of adjusting a synchro to its electrical zero position.
