Popis: Developments of a two directional beam steering electron cyclotron heating/current drive launcher for JT-60SA have been progressed based on a linear motion antenna concept. A full-scale (˜7 m) mock-up of the mirror steering structure with two kinds of bellows structures and an in-vessel support structure has been fabricated and tested in vacuum successfully. The support structure consists of a pair of angular ball bearings made of Si3N4 for rotational motion and a linear guide assembled by a rail and a housing made of non-magnetic stainless steel and Si3N4 balls. Solid lubricant has been used for the linear guide and it results in the improvement of the life time by a factor greater than 10 with respect to the case without lubricant. Considering that the mock-up test results satisfied the requirements for the bellows and support structures (reliable 40 cm linear movement, 105 cycles and angular rotation 30°, 104 cycles), the final design of the launcher is underway targeting the start of its fabrication.
