Jl. He et Dm. Rote, DOUBLE-ROW LOOP-COIL CONFIGURATION FOR EDS MAGLEV SUSPENSION, GUIDANCE, AND ELECTROMAGNETIC GUIDEWAY DIRECTIONAL SWITCHING, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 29(6), 1993, pp. 2956-2958
This paper discusses a new suspension and guidance configuration for a
high-speed, electrodynamic suspension (EDS) maglev system. The config
uration can also be used to develop an electromagnetic guideway direct
ional switch. The performance of the system is predicted using the dyn
amic circuit model. General expressions of the magnetic forces based o
n the harmonic approximation are obtained. The principle of the electr
omagnetic guideway directional switch for the EDS maglev system is dis
cussed.
