  Magnet support systems for the new light sources are required to satisfy several rigorous performance specifications. The support system must be rigid so that its static deflection under its own weight and the combined weight of the magnets is small and repeatable. For vibration stability the lowest natural frequency of the magnet-support assembly should be greater than 50 Hz. To meet thermal stability requirements it is desirable to minimize bending deformation of the support system when subjected to temperature changes. In addition, the magnet support system should be easy to transport, easy to align, and cost effective. Altogether these requirements are difficult to satisfy, especially if the main structural component of the support system is a girder of length greater than 3 meters. In this paper we propose a magnet support system design consisting of column-type supports joined by removable C-beams. The column-type supports provide a superior stability performance without compromising the alignment capability. Analysis results are presented to characterize the performance of this support system.
