Marine Vertical Magnetic Compass

Marine Vertical Magnetic Compass

General Description：

Marine vertical magnetic compass is a type of compass commonly used on ships and boats. It consists of a magnetic needle that aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field and is mounted on a vertical pivot. The compass is usually housed in a binnacle, which is a protective case that also serves to reduce the influence of magnetic fields caused by the ship's equipment. The vertical magnetic compass provides the ship's heading, which is the direction the ship is pointing in relation to magnetic north. It is an essential navigation tool, especially in areas where electronic navigation equipment may not be reliable, such as in areas with high magnetic interference. The accuracy of the compass is affected by a number of factors, including the ship's magnetic signature, which is the unique magnetic field created by the ship's structure and equipment. The compass must be calibrated regularly to ensure accurate readings.

Advantages:

Vertical magnetic compass has high precision. It is designed to provide accurate and reliable readings of the ship's heading, even in areas where electronic navigation equipment may be unreliable.

The compass is built to withstand the harsh marine environment, including exposure to saltwater, high winds, and extreme temperatures.
The compass is mounted on a stable and secure pivot, which minimizes the effects of ship motion on the accuracy of the readings.
The compass is simple and easy to use, with clear markings that allow the navigator to quickly and accurately determine the ship's heading.
The compass requires minimal maintenance, with regular calibration being the only major requirement.
The compass can be easily integrated with other navigation equipment, such as radar and GPS, to provide a comprehensive navigation system.
