Air bearing table construction for simulation of weightless situations e.g. satellites, comprises mechanical components for adjusting center of gravity and geometric shape retentiveness, where components are separated from each other

摘要

The air bearing table construction comprises mechanical components for the adjustment of the center of gravity and for the geometric shape retentiveness. The mechanical components are separated from each other. The specific geometry is adjusted by the adjusting units. The residual interference elements existing after precise adjustment are compared by an active compensation comprising a calibration step through the working area and by a working point related active counter moment generation.
