Vertical bouncing issue in sled after gimbal service and Wave integration
What the thread found
- A vertical rhythmic bouncing motion in a sled occurred after gimbal servicing, which persisted even when the Wave system was disconnected or reconfigured
- The bouncing was traced to bearing problems on the arm side of the gimbal, specifically introduced during the recent servicing work
- Gimbal-based stabilization systems inherently exhibit some side-to-side weaving motion because roll axis stabilization maintains horizon level while the sled itself can shift laterally as it becomes unbalanced
Depends on
- The initial issue was resolved only after receiving help from multiple people and has not been independently confirmed by others
- No detailed description provided of how the bearing problem was specifically fixed or verified
- The discussion of inherent weaving in gimbal systems comes from a separate user and may not directly address the original bouncing problem
