Portuguese term

giroespera

Portuguese to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Marine electronics
I have no relevant text for this term.
However, it is regarding a ships compass or gyrocompass.
They talk about `revisão e revenda de giroesferas'
Maybe they mean the GYROSCOPE or just the gyro itself - which is a major component of the GYROSCOPIC COMPASS.
Proposed translations (English)

@ A giroesfera fica dentro de outra, denominada esfera envolvente. A esfera envolvente é colocada num recipiente com uma mistura de água destilada e outro líquido (geralmente glicerina). Como o centro de gravidade do elemento sensível (esfera giroscópica) fica abaixo do centro geométrico (centro da esfera) o sistema é pendular, portanto direcional. É como se um pêndulo estivesse ligado ao rotor, fazendo com que seu eixo de rotação abaixasse logo que iniciasse a se elevar sobre o horizonte, criando assim uma precessão.

on the contrary.. "I don't think they really mean the gyrosphere (the device that makes the sensitive part damped in azimuth and always north seeking), I think they really mean the gyroscopic compass itself, as it most unlikely any approved supplier would just hold these gyrospheres in stock, I think they ARE referring to the complete thing i.e. the gyroscopic compass itself."

the query term.. the query term is incorrect - should be giroesfera

Portuguese term (edited): giroesfera

gyrosphere

Declined
giroesfera => gyrosphere

Buoyancy Method

Inside the gyrosphere container, the gyrosphere floats in a supporting fluid with a buoyancy that is a little greater than its weight, a bearing cup at the bottom of the recess is pressed against the centering pin and keeps the sphere exactly centered in the container.

Note from asker:
Many thanks all the input, I dont think they really mean the gyrosphere (the device that makes the sensitive part damped in azimuth and always north seeking), I think they really mean the gyroscopic compass itself, as it most unlikely any approved supplier would just hold these gyrospheres in stock, I think they referring to the complete thing i.e. the gyroscopic compass itself.
Thks v much your follow up! As an ex master mariner I can speak with a bit of experience, (Ive even done the Sperry`s maitenance course), I know the company involved who is writing this stuff and they are suppliers to the maritime industry, and these are very big conjuntos for v large vessels, and it didnt used to be normal to keep in stock just the gyrospere alone (many makes were sealed units anyway). However, that was several years ago and micro electronics having moved on you may very well be right.
