Abstract: The invention relates to a levitation frame (7) for a vehicle (2) of a magnetic levitation railway (1) having a magnet unit (8) for the electromagnetic lateral guidance of the vehicle (2), and having a mechanical side guide (11). Furthermore, the invention relates to a vehicle (2) for a magnetic levitation railway (1) having at least one levitation chassis (6), wherein the levitation chassis (6) has at least one levitation frame (7). In addition, the invention relates to rail system (3) of a magnetic levitation railway (1) having a track (4) which is designed to at least partially enclose a levitation chassis (6) of a vehicle (2). Finally, the invention relates to a magnetic levitation railway (1) having a vehicle (2) and a rail system (3). For the levitation frame (7) it is proposed that the mechanical side guide (11) has a guide element (13) and at least one joint (14), wherein the guide element (13) is movably connected to the levitation frame (7) via the joint (14).
