Abstract
A power-saving electromagnetic suspension system has been developed in which electromagnets with permanent magnets are used to suspend the vehicle. The electromagnets are controlled to maintain air gap length so that the attractive force by the permanent magnet always balances the total weight of the vehicle and its loads, based on modern control theory. This technology realizes a significantly power-saving system in which the electromagnetic coil current required to keep a vehicle levitating was extremely small, ideally zero. The 8-kg weight test vehicle with 4-kg load could be levitated continuously over 8 h, without recharging the on-board 1300-mAh batteries. This technology realized a completely contact-free material transportation system when combined with a contact-free driving system using linear motors. The attractive force characteristics of a permanent magnet with control electromagnets and the newly developed electromagnet control system that can eliminate power collecting devices from the electromagnetic suspension system are described.>
