Cavity End View with Tuners and Struts•Six tuners per
cavity provide individual frequency adjustment
•Tuning automatically achieved through a feedback loop
•Six struts per cavity provide a kinematic mounting system
•Struts fix cavity position without over-constraint

Cavity Tuner Design Features
•Tuners are spaced evenly every 60º around cavity
•Layout is offset by 15º from vertical to avoid conflict with cavity ports
•Tuners touch cavity and apply loads only at the stiffener rings
•Tuners operate in “push” mode only (i.e. squeezing)

Four Cavity Layout in Vacuum Vessel •Clocking of tuner
position between adjacent cavities avoids interference
•Actuators offset from cavity center plane due to width of coupling coil
•Soft connection only (bellows) between tuner/actuators and vacuum vessel shell

Forces are transmitted to the stiffener ring by means of “push/pull” loads applied to the tuner lever arms by the actuator assembly

Cavity Tuning Parameters
The following parameters are based on a finite element analysis of the cavity shell. Tuning range is limited by material yield stress.
•Overall cavity stiffness: 6120 N/mm
•Tuning sensitivity: +115 kHz/mm
•Tuning range: 0 to -460 kHz (0 to -4 mm)
•Number of tuners: 6
•Maximum ring load/tuner: 4.1 kN
•Max actuator press. (50 mm): 1.6 MPa (230 psi)

Cavity Suspension System
•Six strut system provides kinematic cavity support
•Orthogonal layout of struts allows accurate cavity alignment and positioning
•Kinematic mounts prevent high cavity stresses caused by thermal distortion and over-constraint

Strut End Connection Details
One end of the struts is attached to a fixed lug welded to the ID of the vacuum vessel
The cavity end of the vertical and one of the horizontal struts are attached directly to the stiffener ringThe cavity end of the axial and one of the horizontal struts are attached to the fixed leg of a tuner

Four Cavity Layout in Vacuum Vessel •Each cavity
contains a dedicated set of suspension struts
•No contact between pairs of close packed cavities
•Struts designed to axially fix outside end of cavity pairs
•Tuning deflections increase cavity gap

Cavity Installation Sequence
•Pre-assemble cavities with Be windows and tuners (w/o actuators)
•Slide inner cavities into vacuum vessel using spacer/alignment blocks
•Shim cavity to align tuner & coupler vacuum feedthus with tuner mounts and cavity ports
•Install struts, tuner actuators and RF couplers
•Repeat same process for outer cavities
