  • Publication number: 20120017798
    Abstract: The invention relates to a track system for a magnetic levitation vehicle, comprising stator carriers (9) and stator assemblies (1) attached there-to by way of cross beams. In order to prevent the stator assemblies (1) from falling off the stator carriers (9) in the event of a failure of the fastening bolts, securing means are provided, which have spacer sleeves (14) extending through select cross beams (16) and bolts (15) extending through said sleeves (14). The axial length (L) of the spacer sleeves (14) is greater than the thickness (D) of the select cross beams (16), so that in the event of a failure of the fastening bolts used to fasten the stator assemblies (1) to the stator carrier (9), said cross beams (16) can drop by no more than a dimension that corresponds to the difference between the dimensions (L) and (D).
