VEHICLE PROPULSION WITH SYNCHRONOUS LINEAR MOTORS

FAHRZEUGANTRIEBE MIT SYNCHRONEN LINEARMOTOREN

Compared to the asynchronous linear motor, the synchronous motor has a high specific thrust, but frequency variation control is necessary for changing its speed. Theoretically, 1 N/sq cm can be obtained with the asynchronous motor and 3.75 N/sq cm with the synchronous version for the surface area of the air gap. The synchronous motor can keep automatically to the track and eddy currents in the reaction rails can be suppressed, which is not the case with the asynchronous motor.
