Light ray modulator maintains focus in optical system subject to severe thermal gradients, vibration and shock. The modulated signals drive a servo system that aligns the system optics.
Mercury pool with a cover layer of high viscosity oil provides a reference reflector for precise alignment of optical instruments. The cover layer effectively damps any ripples in the mercury from support structure vibrations.
Optical target holder is permanently placed for instrument sighting, yet is adjustable and easily aligned.
Blade-to-hub mounting concept assures excellent alignment integrity and results in elimination of some welding problems associated with designs. With this design, if rework is required, blade removal and replacement may be readily accomplished without damage to blade positioning media on the wheel hub.
Fluid coupling assembly that is self-aligning, self-sealing and contains a bellow ball and socket coupling for quick attach and release is highly reliable and can handle cryogenic fluids where icing is encountered. The fluid coupling assembly is used in many fluid systems but is particularly applicable to cryogenic systems.
Electrical shorting cap provides pin alignment, protection from stray voltages, and inspection capabilities. A Teflon straightener insert is built in to overcome any problems with bent or misaligned pins. A clear plastic bottom allows for inspection of the presence and condition of the pins.
