The insulator in the CMZ-700 gyrocompass is a vibration-absorbing and shock-resistant component that supports the master compass unit and its internal gyrosphere assembly. It is designed to isolate the sensitive gyroscopic mechanism from external vibrations, hull shocks, and shipboard movements, ensuring stable and accurate heading output.

Made from durable elastic and damping materials, the insulator reduces the transmission of mechanical noise, roll, and pitch impacts to the gyrosphere. It is typically installed between the gyrosphere housing and the master compass frame, working in combination with bellows dampers and universal joints to maintain smooth operation.

By preventing excessive mechanical stress and resonance, the insulator prolongs the service life of the gyrocompass, helps maintain IMO-required accuracy, and ensures reliable performance under demanding marine operating conditions.

In short, the CMZ-700 insulator functions as a protective, vibration-damping interface that keeps the gyro element stable and precise even in heavy seas or under ship vibration.
