MAGNETICS AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS OF MAGLEV-VEHICLES. CONFERENCE ON DYNAMICS OF HIGH-SPEED VEHICLES HELD IN UDINE, ITALY, 1981

The modern development of magnetic levitation started in 1968, when the companies Messerschmitt-Boelkow-Blohm (MBB) and Krauss-Maffei (KM) investigated intensely the transportation volume of the last 20 years of this century and the worldwide standard of transportation technology. The first four vehicles were built as rigid bodies, where the magnets were directly fixed to the vehicle body. Further developments must aim to reduce the electrical losses, to raise the reliability and to diminish the demands on the guideway. These ideas led to the modified vehicle KOMET M. The aim can be reached by a modular structure where the magnets are suspended by springs and damping elements to the bogies and the passenger cabin is suspended by springs and damping elements to the bogies.
