Dynamic support of revolver undulator magnet structures presents a challenging mechanical problem. Some designs to date employ a support span connected at its ends to the undulator gap separation mechanism. However, this arrangement is problematic for long undulators operating at small gaps since the gap-dependent distortion of the magnet support span scales approximately with the cube of its length and exponentially with reduction in gap. Other designs have been demonstrated that utilize intermediate connections to a central magnet support span, but require additional stiffening members between that span and the magnet arrays. This arrangement is difficult to implement at the APS because of space constraints imposed by existing beam vacuum chambers. We have developed three revolver undulator concepts that provide an extremely rigid magnet support structure, precise rotational positioning, and wide gap tapering ability. Each of the concepts has advantages and disadvantages. All of the concepts are fully compatible with the existing APS-designed gap separation mechanism, which will greatly simplify testing and implementation.
