Development of a scan mirror assembly for an extreme ultraviolet atmospheric scannerA Scan Mirror Assembly (SMA) was created to rotate its SiC mirror through 8.5 deg. in 90 seconds, then to return in 2 seconds, and repeating this motion continuously for at least three years. Unique design features are: lightly preloaded, large angular-contact bearings; bearing preload using a convoluted diaphragm; launch locks avoided by static balancing; limited-scan rotation so ball travel does not overlap; and silicon carbide mirror on semi-kinematic mounts.
