Method for controlling a rotation damper functioning according to the gyroscopic principle

A method for controlling a rotation damper operating according to the gyroscopic principle for a motor vehicle, wherein the rotation damper comprises:

• a flywheel driven by a drive, rotating about a rotation axis with an angular velocity ωφ, which is cardanically mounted via a first bearing element and a second bearing element, wherein the flywheel is rotatably mounted at a rotation angle (φ) on the first bearing element, and the first bearing element is rotatably mounted at the second bearing element about a first axis oriented orthogonally to the rotation axis of the flywheel at a first rotation angle (θ), and the second bearing element is rotatably mounted about a second axis oriented orthogonally to the first axis at a second rotation angle (Ψ), wherein the first bearing element is operationally connected to a shaft drive and the second bearing element can be connected to a wheel carrier, so that an inward and outward movement of the wheel carrier causes a rotation of the second bearing element at the second rotation angle (Ψ), wherein a torque (MΨ) acting on the second bearing element is used as a control variable and as manipulated variable is used an adjustable torque (Mθ) of the shaft drive, wherein the control of the manipulated variable (Mθ) is carried out as a function of the first rotation angle (θ) and of the angular velocity ωφ of the first bearing element about the first axis.
