Five-DOF innovative linear MagLev slider to account for pitch, tilt and load uncertainty

Modeling and Simulation of Traction Power Supply System for High-Speed Maglev Train

“…Maglev technology is contactless in application; there is no wear and friction, thus increasing the efficiency and service life of the system. These characteristics make it applicable in many fields, such as maglev planar motors [1], magnetic bearings [2], maglev sliders [3], and maglev trains. As a land transportation vehicle, a maglev train can travel without contacting with the track and has many advantages in terms of travel speed and safety performance; thus, it has broad development prospects [4].…”

Proposal of a compact magnetically levitated transverse flux permanent magnet linear synchronous motor as a 6‐DOF transport carrier

“…For that, a conventional magnetically levitated carrier typically has more actuators than required DOF, i.e. 6 to 7 electromagnets (EMs) controlling heave z , guidance y , pitch θ y , roll θ x , and yaw θ z [2–4]. In [3], four actuators are used only for guidance control ( y , θ z ) and [4] employs six pairs of electromagnetic actuators for 5 DOF.…”

“…6 to 7 electromagnets (EMs) controlling heave z , guidance y , pitch θ y , roll θ x , and yaw θ z [2–4]. In [3], four actuators are used only for guidance control ( y , θ z ) and [4] employs six pairs of electromagnetic actuators for 5 DOF. Applications where cost is a significant factor, active control of z , θ x , and θ y is only considered and guidance is generally obtained via passive means, such as fringing of EMs.…”
