Abstract
A device for positioning an equipment such as a space optical instrument mirror, including: a platform intended to receive the equipment or forming a portion of the equipment, and six actuating members connected to the platform; each of the actuating members having a body that is elastically deformable and a control mechanism configured to be able to deform the body to modify the position of the platform.
Claims6
A device for positioning an equipment such as a space optical instrument mirror, comprising:
- a platform intended to receive the equipment or forming a portion of the equipment, and six actuating members connected to the platform;
- each of said actuating members comprises a body that is elastically deformable and a control mechanism suitable for deformation of the body so as to modify the position of the platform;
- the control mechanism comprises a micrometer screw;
- and
- the micrometer screw forms a first adjustment screw, the control mechanism comprising a second adjustment screw provided with an orifice forming an internal thread which cooperates with an external thread of the first screw, the control mechanism suitable for deformation of the body under the action of a rotational displacement of the first screw and/or of the second screw.
