The principal function of the Princeton Divertor Experiment (PDX) mechanical structure is to provide support for toroidal field (TF) and the poloidal field (PF) coil systems. These coil systems are subjected to forces produced by the interaction of their currents with various magnetic fields. The structural components are designed to support the coil systems for gravity loading, operating forces, and forces arising from fault conditions. In addition the mechanical structure supports the vacuum vessel and its internal components. The TF coil support system accounts for most of the structure. The mechanical structure is complicated by the demountable design of the TF coils and is described elsewhere. The demountable design was adopted to permit easy access for removal or rearrangement of the divertor coils located within the bore of the TF coils. 2 refs., 4 figs.
