A rotation stabilizing device in a microgravitational rotating apparatus has
vibration
suppressed and rotation stabilized. Recess portions 10a, 10b
are provided on a casing 10 so that bearings 14, 15 are arranged
therein for supporting a rotary shaft 30. Experimental boxes 17a
to 17h fixed to arms 16a to 16h rotate
together with the rotary shaft 30. A fin 33 is fixed to outer circumferential
surfaces of the experimental boxes 17a to 17h projecting
outwardly therefrom. Pairs of electromagnetic coils 31a, 31b,
in which the fin 33 is interposed with a predetermined gap maintained therebetween,
and gap sensors 32 close thereto, are fitted on the casing 10 side.
Displacement of the fin 33 is detected by the gap sensors 32 to be
inputted into a control unit to thereby control excitation current of the electromagnetic
coils 31a, 31b. The gap is brought into a position
within a demand value and rotation is stabilized.
