However, Cardano did not invent the gimbal, nor did he claim to. The gimbal suspension used for mounting compasses and the like is sometimes called a Cardan suspension after Italian mathematician and physicist Gerolamo Cardano (1501–1576) who described it in detail. For example, on a ship, the gyroscopes, shipboard compasses, stoves, and even drink holders typically use gimbals to keep them upright with respect to the horizon despite the ship's pitching and yawing.
A set of three gimbals, one mounted on the other with orthogonal pivot axes, may be used to allow an object mounted on the innermost gimbal to remain independent of the rotation of its support (e.g.
Illustration of a simple three-axis gimbal set the center ring can be vertically fixedĪ gimbal is a pivoted support that permits rotation of an object about an axis.
