THE EMS (ELECTRO MAGNETIC SUSPENSION) LOAD BEARING AND GUIDANCE SYSTEM FROM THE DYNAMIC VIEWPOINT

DAS EMS-TRAG-UND FUEHRUNGSSYSTEM AUS DYNAMISCHER SICHT

The requirements for support and guidance in electro magnetic suspension technology (ems) such as contact-less adherence to the nominal trajectory, higher level of ride comfort, stability and lower energy demand are outlined. The method of working of the primary support and guidance equipment is illustrated on a control loop with suspended magnets, current supply, bogies, anchor rails, sensors (spacers) and governors. The construction of the suspension and guidance equipment is illustrated by examples. The secondary suspension (secondary springing with vibration insulation and roadway tracking) as well as emergency suspension and guidance equipment is described. /TRRL/
