abstract = {{A tuner is a device that adjusts the resonant frequency of a cavity. Here we propose a new tuner mechanism for the 1.3 GHz ILC cavity. A bellow is provided in the central portion of the helium tank in the longitudinal direction, and flanges are provided on both sides of the bellows. A linear motion actuator is fixed to the flange on one side, and the frequency is changed by pushing and pulling the flange on the opposite side. Significantly, two linear motion actuators are placed in circumference and working simultaneously. It is named a twin-drive tuner. According to the ILC specification, the cavity has a spring constant of 3 KN/mm, requiring a stroke of 2 mm to adjust the 600 kHz range. A loading force of 6 kN is required. This is shared by two linear motion actuators. We developed a prototype actuator with a loading force of 4 kN per unit. It consists of a stepping motor and a sliding screw with a plastic nut. An experimental device was constructed using this actuator and a 1.3 GHz cavity with a helium tank, and the frequency tuning was evaluated. The displacement between the flanges and the frequency are proportional, both have good linearity, and the slope is 296 kHz/mm.}},
