Abstract: A magnetic suspension bearing (10; 30; 40; 50) is described comprising a part rotatable about a rotation axis and a fixed part, and two elements made of ferromagnetic material, one integral with the rotatable part and one with the fixed part. The two elements are closely placed, separated by an air gap, and have axial symmetry with respect to said axis. There is a magnetic flux generator for generating a magnetic flux inside the two elements. The two elements have such a shape that the magnetic flux, flowing inside the two elements, describes in space a torus and passes from one element to the other through the air gap along a direction orthogonal to the direction of a load applied to the bearing. This configuration ensures high support strength for the bearing while being a simple structure to be built.

A simple and effective way is achieved to anchor the wheel to the track.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for generating a force, in particular a driving force comprising: a first unit comprising a first tubular element, first magnetic means, a second unit comprising a second tubular element, where said second tubular element is coaxial with said first tubular element, second magnetic means, third magnetic means. Said first magnetic means are arranged within said first tubular element, and said second magnetic means and said third magnetic means are arranged on said second tubular element so as to be opposed to each other. Said first tubular element is arranged within said second tubular element and is configured to rotate of a predetermined rotation angle in such a way that, when said first tubular element rotates, said first magnetic means rotates with respect to said second magnetic means and said third magnetic means, so that a predetermined first force is generated by said system.

Abstract: A process for applying noise-reducing elements to a tyre for vehicle wheels. A plurality of noise-reducing elements are arranged on a feeding belt movable along a predetermined feeding direction. The noise-reducing elements are subsequently aligned along the feeding direction and brought into mutual contact, to then be transferred onto a service plane arranged downstream of the feeding belt along the feeding direction and having, on an upper surface thereof, a continuous film which supports a layer of adhesive material. The layer of adhesive material is applied onto a lower surface of each of the noise-reducing elements taking it from the continuous film. The noise-reducing elements are then transferred one by one onto a conveyor belt arranged downstream of the service plane along the feeding direction. The noise-reducing elements are finally positioned one by one on a radially inner surface of a tyre.
