Removal Method of Core Shaft of Primary Mirror

摘要

The structure of core shaft combined with mercury belt is widely used as the primary mirror supporting structure of 1 meter class and 2 meter class large aperture telescope currently. In order to reduce the structure jitter of primary mirror, the fitting clearance between core shaft and shaft sleeve is very small, so clamping stagnation occurs during installation and disassembling process of core shaft. The removal method of clamping stagnation of core shaft is introduced. Mechanical analysis of core shaft and primary mirror is applied to make sure that the primary mirror is safe. Some tools are designed specially, and the process and the attention points to remove core shaft are introduced. In this way, the clamping stagnation of core shaft can be removed easily. The core shaft of 1 m class primary mirror was removed by the method and the primary mirror was excellent without damage.
