  • A design based on 1.2 m lightweight SiC primary mirror is presented. An 18 point Whiffle-tree structure and a pressure bar are used for the axial support, and an A-Frame flexure mechanism and a tangent link are used for the lateral supporting system. The project of primary mirror design is disscussed in the principle, and the advantages are given. The parameters of mechanism are analyzed and optimized by the Finite Element Analysis(FEA) method. The whole FEA model is established, and the statics and thermal simulation analysis are accomplished. Experiments indicate that the Root Mean Square(RMS) of the mirror resulted from the supporting system is 3.5 nm at reference temperature, and it is 11.1 nm when the temperature difference is 40 ℃. The results show that the design could suit for the 1.2 m lightweight SiC mirror well, and thermal effect could be compensated successfully.
