WEIGHT AND DIMENSIONS.

INTERFACE:

115 mm column with  minimum length 1520 mm.

ALIGNMENT:

                Coarse:          Azimuth  + 50^o (depends on column installation)

                Fine :             Both planes  + 8^o   

Environment:

Wind  

Survival without permanent deformation.

                Wind speed up to 70 m/s and 25 mm radial ice.

                Maximum deflection at 45 ^m/_s are 0.1 ^o.

Temperature range:          -55 ^oC  to  +55 ^oC

Wind load:

Wind effect on parabolic antennas and support structures can be separated into two force components and a twisting moment as shown in figure 2. The side axial and twisting moment forces shown in table 1 are maximum values exerted on the supporting structure. In every case the value is the result of the wind from the most critical direction. All forces are referenced to the antenna mounting
