Preliminary analysis
Assumed vacuum load: 20,000 lb total or 5,000 lb per rod (89,000 N)
Maximum distance between vacuum vessel ears: 81” (2050 mm)
Assume pinned ends
Assume S.F. of 4
Pcr = 2EI/l2 = 20,000 lb
For stainless steel the minimum value for I = 0.475 in4
Need ID = 1.25” to be compatible with current geometry
Solving for OD yields OD = 1.86” so use 2”
Actual I = 0.66 in4 so S.F. ~ 5.6

Attachment to existing ear
At the magnet ears, the tie bar attaches with a 30 mm bolt. The bronze to stainless interface slides during pressure loading.

Attachment to sliding sleeve
Each tie bar joins at the sliding sleeve ear. This is where each is adjusted for length, preloaded slightly, then locked in position.
