Abstract: A structure for supporting a trackway of a magnetic suspension railroad includes at least one support, at least one equipment element having an operational surface extending in a track direction, and an arrangement for securing the equipment element on the support in a predetermined position. The securing arrangement includes a connecting body fixedly attached to the support and boss structure projecting from the connecting body toward the equipment element and defining a first stop surface extending in a direction corresponding to a direction in which the operational surface extends, and cooperating with a second stop surface provided on the equipment element, when the equipment element is secured to the connecting body.

Abstract: A structure for supporting a trackway of a track following transportation system, particularly, a magnetic suspension railroad and including a support and at least one equipment element having an operational surface and attached to the support. The supporting structure further includes bolts for securing the equipment element to the support. There is further provided a form-locking means which becomes effective only if the fixing bolts fail and which then limits displacement of the equipment element relative to the support to a predetermined amount.

Abstract: A method of making a multiphase winding package and placing it into the grooves of a linear stator being mounted, with open grooves facing down, on the underside of a support and carrier plate, includes storing and paying individual ones of a plurality of separate cables on a vehicle while moving the vehicle on the carrier; the cables are bent individually commensurate with a desired meander configuration for each of them in a winding package; the meander shaped cables are then superimposed corresponding to the winding pattern to be attained; ribbon connection as well as holding elements are provided at fixed distances onto runglike portions of the cables; the thus, in situ assembled winding package is mounted to the stator by placing these runglike portions with holders into the grooves of the stator.

Abstract: The feature characterizing the method is that in an operation following the finishing of the track supporting structure, the mounting bodies are machined in a way such as to correct the structural inaccuracies caused by manufacturing tolerances of the prior art steel and concrete construction, to obtain an accurate mutual position of the equipment parts at the location of attachment. For this purpose, preferably, the mounting bodies are provided at the securing locations with bores and countersinks which are accurate in all the coordinates and correspond to the bolts or bores of the equipment parts, to finally mount these parts by means of bolts and spacer bushings. The bores and countersinks are formed by computer controlled drilling machines in a workshop where the support structures are held at a position which they will ultimately have in the field.

In supporting structures of steel tracks, mounting bodies accessible from both sides are preferably employed.
