DYNAMIC LOAD STUDY OF AN/FPS-24 PEDESTAL

Abstract

Results are presented from an investigation of the load distribution to the main bearing of the AN/FPS-24 radar under actual operating conditions. The bearing is a 10-foot diameter 4-point contact being subjected to thrust, radial, and overturning loads. Load determination was made by instrumenting one of the bearing balls to measure its deformation due to load. The results are inconclusive due to problems of mechanical interference incurred during testing; however, some noteworthy data are presented.
