Abstract

The paper discusses one direct drive telescope experiment bed (DDTEB), which is designed to simulate the modern telescope tracking system. The main task is to find the problem and the reliability which might be met in the real direct drive tracking system of the telescope and how to handle them. More information and experience will be acquired and accumulated to use the direct drive technology in the telescope complex motion system of Chinese telescope in the future.
