Abstract:
Arrangement for operating a transport system with a track-guided magnetically levitated vehicle, the arrangement comprising: a linear motor (7) for transmission of a driving power and a magnetic levitation system (8, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3) for transmitting supporting forces and/or lateral traction wherein active, controlled subsystems of the magnetic levitation system (8, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3) are arranged on the magnetically levitated vehicle (10), and wherein means provided for controlling a mechanical air gap of the magnetic levitation system is also provided, wherein, a power transmission system (9) is provided for inductive transmission of electric power, that the active, controlled subsystems of the linear motor (7) are arranged in or on the magnetically levitated vehicle (10), that the power transmission system (9), which is in or of the controlled subsystems of the magnetically levitated vehicle (10), supplies electric power to the magnetic levitation system (8, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3) and the linear motor (7), and that the means, which is for controlling the mechanical air gap of the magnetic levitation system (8, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3), at the same time is provided for controlling a mechanical air gap of the linear motor (7) and/or the power transmission system.
