LIFTING-THRUST DEVICE FOR MAGNETICALLY SUSPENDED VEHICLE WITH LINEAR ELECTRIC MOTOR Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has modules 1 arranged along sides of underframe 4. The modules include lifting electromagnets 2 and inductors 3 of linear electric motors. The adjacent modules are pivotally interconnected, the pivot being shared by the top part of vertical pin 5 which is rigidly secured to carriage 6 spring-loaded with respect to cantilever 8 of under frame 4. Each cantilever 8 is connected to the module through two double-link mechanisms having pivotally interconnected links. Each mechanism has top link 10 from the side of the module to be made with a pivot, and bottom link 13 from the side of cantilever to be fitted on pipe 14 for permitting rotation. The pipe is set in bushing 15 secured to cantilever 8. EFFECT: enhanced reliability. 4 dwg
