Integrated system for precision actuation and support for large mobile structures

An integrated system for precision actuation and support for a mobile structure, said mobile structure which slides over and is supported by a fixed support structure through a series of frames which secure the mobile structure to said fixed support structure, wherein the fixed support structure comprises:

• a rail guarded by at least one lateral track, the outer surface of the rail constitutes a stator of an electric linear motor, and a rotor of which is located in a frame, maintaining an air gap at a low and constant value;
• at least one track, located on a plane parallel to that which defines the surface of the rail on which a series of hydrostatic feet present on the support face of a frame slide, which provides a positioning of the stator and the rotor of the electric linear motor, wherein
• while, in turn, each of the frames in which the mobile structure is supported by the fixed support structure comprises:
• the rotor of the electric linear motor, arranged longitudinally, in correspondence with the rail present on the fixed support structure;
• said series of hydrostatic feet arranged along the support face by which said frame is supported by the at least one lateral track of the fixed support structure;
• and
• a connection device and/or section between said frame and the mobile structure that permits relative movements between both said frame and said fixed support structure, via a kinematically compatible flexible connection.
