3. Assembly of the rolling adjustment bars
4. Flipping and laying on lifting device
Tricky task

9. Dooknob assembly (4/9) 1. Nota on « IPN » lifting device
The lifting jack (standard and existing at IPNO) is adapted to our needs in terms of stroke and gap (for integration on the spoke cryomodule).
It can be replaced by a lifting table or something else to meet your needs…

10. Dooknob assembly (5/9)
1. Approach and align as well as you can the doorknob axis (blue) with the coupler and cavity axis (red)
Centering
2. Hold the inner circuit rod in raised position and remove the rod nut
3. Lift the doorknob until the ¼ flanges (tooling) are in contact and centered with outer flange of the power coupler.
Note that the inner circuit rod will still be supported but not engaged in the central threaded hole of the power coupler. 2 1

¼ flanges
Guided but not engaged
(approximately 18 mm down)

12. Dooknob assembly (7/9)
1. Hand tightening of the inner circuit rod until gets into contact
2. Remove the screws (1) , remove the ¼ flanges (2). Note that you can temporarily remove the yellow flange to get a better accessibility (3). 1 3 2

13. Dooknob assembly (8/9)
2. Hand lift the antenna (1) and hand tight the inner circuit rod until contact (2).
1. Outer conductor connexion :
Gradually unscrew the spring collar (1), when the doorknob is free, lift it until contact with the power coupler (2) then fix with bolts (3)
Smoothly tighten the inner circuit rod with a flat wrench (3): we estimate about 90°, too much effort can constrain the ceramic window, we only need watertightness ! 3 2 2 1
Note that the doorknob is always supported 1 3 1

14. Dooknob assembly (9/9) Outlet Inlet
1. Closing of the circuit by introducing and hand screwing the outer circuit plug (remember that we only need watertightness).
2. Fill the circuit with water and check for leaks
Do not forget
the o-rings
Note that the doorknob is always supported

Inlet

15. Connexion to RF source
1. To angle the connexion flange of doorknob wave guide with the RF source interface, you only need to slightly unscrew the half flanges (1) and angle by turning the doorknob(2).
2. After the aligment, block the half flanges (1) and clamp the Serflex (3). You can now remove all parts of the tooling. 3 1 2
During the connexion with the RF source, the doorknob must be blocked in all directions. Remember that all mechanical stresses applied on the doorknob are transmitted to the ceramic window of the power coupler
