Abstract

TF magnet structures are the main structural components in the KSTAR magnet systems to protect the superconducting coils from mechanical, electrical, and thermal loads. TF coil structure supports CS and PF coil system. The inter-coil structure contains adjustable shear keys and conical bolts to provide pre-loading in toroidal direction and to resist against in-plane and out-of-plane forces that are the most critical loads on the TF magnet system. The conical bolts and shear keys are specially designed to assemble easily and to provide a convenient accommodation for a good alignment. The connection plate that is one of the prototype fabrications had been manufactured to study adjustability of conical bolts and shear keys for assembly of TF coil structure. We could measure the misalignments at the keyways and conical holes with the misalignment measuring instrument.
