Abstract
A device for transmitting large forces between a superconducting magnet winding cooled to a very low temperature and an abutment which takes up the forces and is at a higher temperature level, particularly of an energy storage device, includes support bodies which are arranged one behind the other in the direction of the force transmission and are subdivided thermally at least partially by a metal sheet serving as a heat shield in which a high buckling stiffness with only small thermal losses due to heat transfer is obtained by using at least one box shaped hollow support element as the support body and by keeping the sheet metal of the heat shield at a predetermined intermediate temperature by means of a coolant conducted through at least one cooling tube connected thereto.
