“…The 8-rod architecture has been found in the quadrupole doublets of the FAIR (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research) [26,27] and the coils of an MRI at NeuroSpin [48,49]. The 8-double-band suspension system has been found in the analytical paper from the CAS (Chinese Academy of Sciences) [32], the wiggler of TLS (Taiwan Light Source) [24], the wiggler of IHEP (Institute of High Energy Physics of CAS) [22], the coupling solenoid of the MICE [25], and the undulator of SSRF [2,3]. The reasons why, in some designs, the double-band geometry has been preferred over the rod one have not been explicitly reported in the articles found.…”

When designing suspension systems for superconducting elements, the primary challenge is to strike a balance between limiting the heat load to the cold mass and ensuring the proper mechanical resistance and/or stiffness of the system. This trade-off often leads engineers to choose from a limited set of materials and supporting architectures. The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the different overall designs. Scientific articles were searched within the Google Scholar database using advanced search operators to combine a defined set of keywords. Among the architectures found, the “multi-post” solution and the “8-support” solution are the two most commonly chosen classes. Additionally, a recurrent pattern for the supporting system of superconducting cavities has been identified. The choice of architecture can be correlated with the characteristics of the superconducting element being supported, such as its mass, length, and stiffness. Furthermore, the review provides a conceptual analysis of the possibility of extending these designs to the unconventional environment of rotating machines.
