Abstract: The levitating and guide magnets of a magnetically levitated vehicle are supported by frames. Each frame comprises two crossbeams (4) extending across the length of the rails. These crossbeams (4) are flexible against bending and connected in pairs in the longitudinal rail direction by connecting members which are stiff against shearing loads. Both, the levitating magnets (1) and the guide magnets (2) are supported in a see-saw fashion by respective journal shafts or pins (7, 7'). Each pair of crossbeams (4) carries four sets of magnets. Each set of magnets includes two levitating magnets (1) and two guide magnets (2) forming a respective structural magnet unit. The journal pins may be replaced by pivot movement permitting spring supports.
