Paper Abstract
The ATST Telescope Mount Assembly uses for the Azimuth axes mechanisms bearing and drive technologies as
developed for the machine tool industry. An overview on the ATST mount project and design and its verification by
analysis, simulation and tests are given in two separate papers of this conference. This paper describes the main design
and accuracy features of the bearing and drive subsystems, their adaption to the ATST mount and their influence on the
telescope structural design, and gives a hint to the challenges in the upcoming manufacturing, installation and
commissioning phases.
