  In this paper we present the methodology adopted in designing the mechanism responsible for controlling the resonant frequency of Single Spoke Resonators of first type (SSR1). Such device is capable of compensating the effects of external perturbations, such as pressure fluctuations and microphonics, on the frequency of SSR1. The compensation is achieved through active responses via an actuation system and passive responses which are inherent to the elastic behavior of the overall system. The first experiences in the design, assembly, QA and testing are reported.

  Fermilab is currently building the Project X Injector experiment (PXIE). The PXIE linac will accelerate a 1 mA H beam up to 30 MeV and serve as a testbed for validation of Project X concepts and mitigation of technical risks. A cryomodule of eight superconducting RF Single Spoke Resonators of type 1 (SSR1) cavities operating at 325 MHz is an integral part of PXIE. Ten SSR1 cavities were manufactured in industry and delivered to Fermilab. We discuss tests of nine bare SSR1 cavities at the Fermilab Vertical Test Stand (VTS). Recently, one of the SSR1 cavities was welded inside a helium jacket. Results of the test of this cavity in the Fermilab Spoke Test Cryostat (STC) are shown. We report on the measured performance parameters of SSR1 cavities achieved during the tests.
