Abstract: A line-changing device for magnetic levitation trains includes a rail section, at least one rail positioned transversely thereto, and a support frame for the rail section, which includes at least two wheels supported on the rail. The support frame includes a support module connected with the rail section, and two wheel modules attached to the sides thereof in a replaceable manner, and in which at least one of the wheels is rotatably supported.

Abstract: Disclosed is a module (10) for the driveway of a magnetically levitated vehicle. Said module (10) comprises functional surfaces (17, 18, 19) in the form of at least one laterally guiding assembly surface, one gliding assembly surface, and one stator pack assembly surface. The functional surfaces (17, 18, 19) are embodied on oversized pieces of equipment (14, 15, 16) which are made of steel, are connected in a fixed manner to the module (10), and are machined down in a cutting manner to a predefined set point dimension. Also disclosed are a driveway which comprises such modules and a method for producing said modules (10). The inventive method includes a step in which the modules are twisted in an elastic manner prior to being fixed to the beams in order to create changes in the lateral inclination.

Abstract: The invention relates to a line-changing device for the tracks (1, 2) of a magnetic levitation train. The tracks (1, 2) are formed by track supports arranged one after the other and the lines are changed by means of a rail joint between the tracks (1, 2). To connect the tracks a track support configured as a bendable support (5) is positioned along each track which bendable support can be bent to establish a connection between the tracks (1, 2). In its bent state each bendable support can be positioned in relation to the other bendable support (5). Along each track (1, 2) a track support situated next to the bendable support (5) is configured as a connecting support (6), which when the rail joint is established can be moved out of the clearance gauge of the train. The invention consists in the fact that the connecting supports (6) can be moved without deformation.

Abstract: A track-alternating arrangement for magnetic-levitation roadways, in which one of a series of mutually aligned bearers in each roadway establishes a first junction to join the roadways together. The bearer is inflectable to form the first junction. Each bearer, in an inflected state in one roadway, is aligned with another bearer in an adjacent roadway. An abutting one of the bearers adjacent the inflectable bearer is shiftable out beyond a free base of a car traveling over the roadway to provide sufficient space for the car to pass the junction. The abutting bearers are inflected to establish a different second junction. The inflectable bearers are shiftable out beyond a free cross-section of the car when the abutting bearers establish the different second junction.
