Development of linear switched reluctance motor for magnetically levitated system

This paper describes a propulsion system for magnetically levitated vehicles with hybrid magnets, which were studied in place of streetcars and transportation systems in semiconductor production. The new propulsion system for the magnetically levitated vehicle proposed here is low cost and easy to make. We obtained dynamic experimental results and static experimental results of the linear switched reluctance motor (LSRM) as a new propulsion system, and obtained the basic characteristics. The new propulsion system LSRM and the experimental results are presented.
