  • Patent number: 8477004
    Abstract: A magnet pole for magnetic levitation vehicles includes an iron core (1) having an upper pole surface (2), a lower contact surface (3) for a magnet rear side (4) and a circumferential surface (5) disposed between the pole surface (2) and the contact surface (3). A coil (6) is applied onto the circumferential surface (5) of the iron core (1). An intermediate layer is made of an electrically insulating material, which is disposed between the circumferential surface (5) and the coil (6). A protective layer (9) encapsulates the coil (6). At least the pole surface (2) of the iron core (1) is made of a hard material and abuts the circumferential surface (5) in a lower region of the iron core (1). The protective layer (9) contains a section (15) made of an elastic material in a region adjacent to the circumferential surface (5).

  • Patent number: 8248196
    Abstract: The invention relates to a magnet arrangement for magnetic levitation vehicles. Said arrangement comprises a magnetic back box and a plurality of magnetic poles that are connected to said back box and that have magnetic pole faces bordering on a common reference surface. According to the invention, the reference surface extends along an elastic line when the magnetic pole is in the unloaded state, said elastic line being inverse to the curvature of the surface that is obtained under a nominal load of the magnetic poles when the magnetic pole faces are in the unloaded state on a plane. The invention also relates to a method for producing said type of magnet arrangement.

  • Patent number: 8201502
    Abstract: A magnet pole, for magnetically levitated vehicles, includes a core (10) and a winding provided with winding disks that are arranged axially on top of each other. Both of the disks contain conduction band sections (6a, 6b) that are wound counter to the direction of winding and in several layers about the core (10). The conduction band sections are connected together in an electrically conductive manner by means of a connection part (1) on the core (10) near ends. The connection part (1) is bent in an outward manner on lateral longitudinal edges that are parallel to each other thus forming a curved outlet (12a, 12b).

  • Publication number: 20120126921
    Abstract: The invention relates to a magnet pole for magnetic levitation vehicles, containing an iron core (1), a coil (6) applied thereon, a rear (4) of a magnet lying against a lower contact surface (3) of the iron core (1), and a protective layer (9) that encases the coil (6) and an upper pole surface (2) of the iron core (1). The protective layer (9) has a section (15) made of an elastic material in a lower region of the iron core (1), said section bordering the circumferential surface (5) of the iron core.
