Magnetic path direction in the back-iron of a linear induction motor(LIM) is perpendicular to that of the lift-magnet of the MAGLEV which is recently developing in KOREA. In general the back-iron is isolated magnetically in conventional rail in order to eliminate the thrust dependency of the LIM on the lift force. However the magnetic isolation causes some increase in construction and management cost. So a unit-type rail system is considered, which the magnetic circuit of the back-iron is sharing that of the lift-magnet. In this paper 3-dimensional analysis for the lift-magnet is carried out using finite element method. As a result, a new shape of the unit-type rail is presented to reduce the magnetic dependency between thrust force and lift force. Also the distribution of magnetic flux density vectors and current-lift force characteristics are presented.

In this paper, analytical modeling of lift and drag forces in permanent magnet electrodynamic suspension systems (PM EDSs) are presented. After studying the impacts of PM dimensions on the permanent magnetic field and developed lift force, it is indicated that there is an optimum PM length in a specified thickness for a maximum lift force. Therefore, the optimum PM length for achieving maximum lift force is obtained. Afterward, an objective design optimization is proposed to increase the lift force and to decrease the material cost of the system by using Genetic Algorithm. The results confirm that the required values of the lift force can be achieved; while, reducing the system material cost. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and experimental tests are carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the PM EDS system model and the proposed optimization method. Finally, a number of design guidelines are extracted.

In this paper, as a clean lift, a maglev(magnetic levitation) clean lift is designed and described. The maglev clean lift, which is superior to conventional lifts in vibration, noise, clean class and speed characteristics, consists of magnets, guide rails, guide rollers, magnet module frame, cage, guidance controller, sensors, etc. As design specifications, the maximum value of vibration is 0.2G, the maximum value of noise is 60dB, and the clean class is #10. The design results for the maglev clean lift are shown and discussed.

In this paper, an electromagnet which is used in maglev(magnetic levitation) clean lift is designed and described. The electromagnet is firstly designed by using FEM(finite element method) tool and the simulation results are presented. The nominal airgap is 5mm and the nominal current is 2A. Also, the nominal magnetic force is 200N. From the results, we can get the electromagnet as an actuator used in maglev(magnetic levitation) clean lift for LCD process.

The advantage of the controlled permanent magnet system for magnetic levitation is the considerable improvement in levitation force to weight ratio and the reduced rating of the on-board power supply. A combined support and guidance technique with selfstable guide behaviour reduce the expense of control and power electronics. An important feature of this system is the simplified mechanical construction of track and the vehicle does not embrace the guide way. Therefore surface mounted as well as elevated tracks are possible. The magnet was designed to provide a lift force of 750kg for a 3 ton prototype vehicle with 4 magnets by KERI and built by Dae-Bo Magnetic Co., LTD. The paper also describes the assembling technology for permanent magnets, the experimental setup and test results for lift force, guidance force and flux distribution.

A linear motor based transfer vehicle is significantly focused as transportation systems in marine terminals for the future. We propose a control method for the systems to hence mass reduction and propulsion effects at a starting point by using a lift-force mechanism. This method is newly based on a combined levitation-and-propulsion power by a lift and thrust force of a permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM), which is carried out by a decoupled control. We exam that our proposed control largely compensates the vehicle weight, reduces friction effect of the system, and increases its velocity. Consequently, this result contributes numerous productivity and economical efficiency for the port systems.

A magnetic levitation system with hybrid magnets, which is composed of permanent magnets and electromagnets, consumes less power than the conventional attraction type system. A parallel complementary controller on the lift controller is proposed to reduce the sensitivity for parameter variation and force disturbance. Simulation and experiment show that the lift system has robustness to force disturbance.

Permanent Magnet DC Motors are widely used in Automotive parts because they have cheap price, simple structure and high torque-speed ratio. But the motor in automotive parts is required high quality, complex function and lower price than before. This paper deals with design of controller for safety function that body trap on the automotive window. The algorithm of controller can adapt variety conditions with temperature, electrical, driving, etc.
