SHAFT CONVEYANCE SYSTEM

摘要

The mine shaft conveyance system makes use of a synchronous linear motor to driv e mine conveyances up and down a shaft. The system includes spaced parallel windin g support members which carry stator windings and between which a reaction member is located so as to be driven in the required direction by electromagnetic forces when current is supplied to the windings. The reaction me mber is flexible about at least one axis transverse to the length of the winding supp ort members.
