Abstract:
For the effective operation of a magnetically levitated (maglev) vehicle using electro-magnetic suspension, it is necessary that the airgap between the guideway and the levitating magnets is maintained. Such systems, where the output is required to remain strictly within bounds, are known as critical systems. This paper describes the design of the suspension system for a high-speed maglev vehicle which ensures that the airgap is maintained.
