Damper for magnetically levitated vehicle - has auxiliary damping coils in vehicle positioned below energising coils

摘要

The damping unit is designed for a magnetically levitated synchronous linear motor and a chain of super-conducting energising coils positioned in the drive vehicle. Guide coils is the form of a closed eight are located in the track. The vehicle incorporates auxiliary damping coils (3) which are positioned below the energising coils (2) and have a shape corresponding to that of the guide coils (1). They are fed with currents (13) whose strength is adjusted in relation to the lateral deflection of the driving vehicle.
