Construction of truck for attractive type magnetically levitated vehicle

摘要

A truck construction for an attraction type, magnetically levitated vehicle having four electromagnets or electromagnet groups arranged at vertex points in a rectangular plane figure to confront a pair of left and right armature rails laid on the ground. The electromagnets or electromagnet groups are connected to each other by means of girders having a simple structure each constituted by a web and flanges to form a truck having a rectangular plane shape having overall high resistance to torsion. The truck or a group of such trucks are attached to a vehicle through shock absorbing members.
