Using Linear Synchronous Motors for Retarding Linear Motion and Conveying Systems

摘要

Provided is a system for reducing velocity of a conveyance. The system may include a conveyance. A first member of In a linear motor may be attached to the conveyance. A second member of the linear motor may include stator coils. The second member may be separate from the first member and may be separate from the conveyance. The first member may be moveable relative to the second member. A current-interrupting device may selectively shunt at least two coil wires of the stator coils by shorting the at least two coil wires. A method for reducing velocity of a conveyance and a method for making a system for reducing velocity of a conveyance are also disclosed.
