  • Design of a grating mechanism for a near-infrared spectrograph
    Through this exercise we chose 17-4PH stainless steel for the cam and a proprietary alloy called AMPCO-M4 for the follower, given a maximum force at the point of contact of 100 lbs. from the two preloaded springs'5. .... The housing is balanced by a counterweight so that the pressure between the cam and the follower is limited to that from the springs, and eliminates the varying gravity components as the telescope tracks.
  • Practical to tactical: an evolution of the dual line-of-sight experiment
    The axis drives are each made of 440C stainless steel to match the thermal properties of the bearings and allow the bearings to operate predictably over a wide temperature range. .... The elbow assembly includes the elevation drive, the azimuth FOG sensor, the elevation fold optic, and the counterweight for the telescope mass.
  • Research on the support structure of the primary mirror of large-aperture telescope
    The A frames are stainless steel complex devices linked to the mirror by means of Invar pads glued on the outer ribs. .... The lateral support frame includes a counterweight system to minimize deformation of the mirror surface dues to … pull counterweighted levers, springs, and pneumatic/hydraulic actuators are all commonly used in astronomical telescopes , as well as…
  • The construction of a robust metal vacuum microbalance
    …movement of a finewire fixed to one end of the beam (figure): a telescope having movable Cross … o s s -step, 80cm j suspensory wire a . suspended on annealed tungsten wire of 25 pm diameter (the primary fulcrum), and the suspensory wires (80cm long and made of stainless steel ) for the sample and counter- weight are attached, via loops…
  • The NexStar Evolution and SkyPortal User's Guide
    This fully extendable tripod is made from the finest 2.75″ stainless steel and can be raised to a height of 55″. .... Simply sliding the counterweight for Right Ascension and moving the optical tube along its dovetail mounting for .... This means that no additional weight needs to be added to balance the telescope when additional accessories…

    During transportation, shock absorbers (made of stainless steel encased in balsa wood collars) are fixed to the ends. .... telescoping mast. .... counterweight .
  • Design of the primary mirror segment support system for the E-ELT
    Keck used the approach of counterweights glued to the segments, and TMT (Thirty Meter Telescope )[2] has proposed the machining of the pivot position of the whiffletree at slightly different positions for each segment type. .... The material of the tripods is an Al-Si alloy, the material of the pivots is a martensitic stainless steel and material of the end needles is a precipitation hardened high strength stainless steel.
