Present Manual Control System for Alcator C-Mod MSE Shutter (Schematic)

We want to rotate the shutter into one of three positions:

• Position #1: linear feedthrough A almost fully “in” & feedthrough B almost fully “out”.• Position #2: linear feedthrough B almost fully “out” & feedthrough B almost fully “in”.• Position #3: linear feedthroughs A and B in an intermediate position.

• To ensure that all cables remain in a state of tension, the back ends of the two linear feedthroughs are connected with a restraining cable that loops around two wheels supported on fixed axles.

• Presently, we manually push and pull to position the shutter in the desired position.

• To ensure that the rotatable shutter is positioned properly, we need an accuracy of about 2 millimeters on the position of each linear feedthrough.

• The system of wire cables that controls the movement of the rotatable shutter is pretty “stiff”. I estimate that about 5-10 pounds of force are required to move them.

• If we pull too far in one direction, we will probably break the connection between the internal wire cable and the shutter. So we to provide for stops that limit the push-pull of both linear feedthroughs.
