DRIVE APPARATUS FOR A MAGNETIC LEVITATION TRANSPORT SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a drive apparatus for a magnetic levitation transport system comprising a short-stator linear motor, wherein a primary part of the linear motor is provided with a winding (8) and is intended for arrangement on a vehicle (12) of the magnetic levitation transport system. A secondary part of the linear motor has a reaction rail (2) and is intended for arrangement on a travel path (1), with a supporting device for the magnetic levitation of the vehicle (12) on the travel path (1). The supporting device has at least one electromagnetic coil (4) intended for arrangement on the vehicle (12) and having a U-shaped yoke (3), which interacts with a U-shaped reaction rail (2) intended for arrangement on the travel path (1). The short-stator linear motor is surrounded by the U-shaped yoke (3) and the U-shaped reaction rail (2) on both sides transversely to the longitudinal extent of said short-stator linear motor.
