The paper introduces the results of studying the characteristics of various dynamically tuned gyroscopes operating in the mode of a variable rate sensor. Within the study, we determined the dependence of the dynamic error of the rate sensor on the amplitude and frequency of angular oscillations of the gyroscope body. We analyzed the methodological and hardware support for evaluating the dynamic error of a dynamically tuned gyroscope — the rate sensor in order to reduce its influence on the operational characteristics of the device. To experimentally research and practically evaluate the dynamic error of the dynamically tuned gyroscope — the rate sensor, we proposed a design of the rotary vibration test bench, developed requirements for it, and calculated its elastic-mass characteristics.
