The new Cherenkov telescope, which displays an image of the heavens in the gamma ray spectrum, opens a window to the extremely high-mass black holes, microquasars and the remains of supernovas – the highest-energy radiation sources in the universe. With its 17 meter opening, MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov) is the largest telescope of its type. Magic can be optimally adjusted with two plain bearings which are arranged laterally on the shaft. The maximum loads for the telescope’s bearings during storms and icing are: Frad = 130 kN and Fax = 117 kN (static).
