Abstract :
The stellarator of the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) experiment contains a superconducting magnet system comprises 70 coils and a central support structure. The magnet system has been designed with respect to the physics aims of the experiment. Based on these main features, the components have been ordered from European industry. The subsequently detailed design of the single components and recent prototype test results required the modification of some features. The final design of the components is described in the contribution.
