VEHICLE PROPELLED BY LINEAR MOTOR

摘要

A vehicle for operation along a prepared track has a double-sided linear induction motor stator for propelling the vehicle by co-operation with a reaction plate forming part of a reaction rail extending along the track. The stator is connected to the vehicle body by a linkage which is capable of transmitting only a longitudinally directed force such as the stator tractive force, and is guided by guide means which co-operate with the reaction rail preferably between the reaction plate and the track and which are so arranged as to be incapable of transmitting any substantial rolling moment to the reaction rail. Stator support and roll control is effected separately from the stator guidance.
