Abstract

The spin mount system for testing an infrared sensor assembly is a state-of-the-art test facility in which cryogen (gaseous helium at 5 K) is fed through a unique rotary coupling to a rotating infrared detector. The system is rotationally stable about its spin axis to less than +10 microradians while operating at 1500 rpm in air or vacuum, with cryogen flowing. Optical techniques are used to monitor the dynamic motion of the rotor. The project was sponsored by AEDC, Air Force System Command, USAF, Arnold Air Force Station, TN 27289, under Contract No. F40600-81-C-0015.
