Stability analysis of an angle trimmer mechanism applied to a double crystal monochromator

Abstract

Double crystal monochromator is the core device of the synchrotron light source beamline, for the application of double crystal monochromator trimmer mechanism not only needs a high angular adjustment resolution, but also needs a high inherent frequency to ensure its stability. In this paper, we have analyzed the inherent frequency of an angle-trimming mechanism applied to a biocrystal monochromator by the energy method, established the relationship equation between its inherent frequency and each parameter of the mechanism, and analyzed the influence of each parameter on its inherent frequency. And we establish the simulation model according to the actual installation situation to carry out finite element analysis. The results prove that the mechanism has excellent stability performance and meets the requirements of light source use.
