Patents Assigned to Magnetic Transportation System Engineering Company
  • Patent number: 5408935
    Abstract: A magnet-type transportation system of a car-side primary type includes a rail of a magnetic material, fixedly laid down along a traveling track, and a power car capable of self-movement by a plurality of wheels adapted to roll over the traveling track. The power car includes a plurality of magnet belt conveyor units, each having a magnet belt extended in an endless manner around a driving wheel and a driven wheel. The power car also includes a power unit and a power transfer/transmission mechanism for driving each conveyor unit. The power car is adapted so that the magnet belts mounted thereon are magnetically attracted to the rail.

  • Patent number: 5333553
    Abstract: The carrier for linear motor vehicle-borne field magnets includes a aluminium profiled material of a gate shape in section, which is provided with recesses of permanent magnet size in both its legs. Permanent magnets attached to iron cores are inserted into the recesses in such a way that the N and S poles thereof are opposite to each other and alternate in the longitudinal direction of the carrier frame to form a spatial magnetic field by the alternation of the N and S poles between both the legs of the carrier frame, which interacts with the moving magnetic field created by ground-side coils to generate driving power. The carrier further includes support wheels, guide wheels and a vehicle support on which a vehicle is placed.
