The disclosure relates to a lift installation having a lift car which can be moved along a guide rail. The lift installation here comprises at least a first pair of rollers and a second pair of rollers. The guide rail runs between the two rollers of the first pair of rollers and between the two rollers of the second pair of rollers. The lift installation also has an apparatus for subjecting the lift car to a retaining force, wherein there is a horizontal offset between the point at which the retaining force takes effect and the center of gravity of the lift car, and therefore the lift car is subjected to a first torque.

Lift installation having a compensating device, so that a first roller is largely relieved of loading when the lift car is at rest

An example electromotive linear drive mechanism for moving walkways for conveying people or objects may comprise a long stator as an active primary part positioned along a direction of movement of a moving walkway, as well as a plurality of passive secondary parts that are movable with respect to the active primary part and are arranged with one another along the direction of movement. The long stator may have a plurality of successive long stator sections in the form of coil groups along the direction of movement. Each long stator section may have its own control device that is configured to move the secondary parts using control parameters stipulated for the respective long stator section. Further, example methods for operating the electromotive linear drive mechanism may involve predefining different movement profiles for the respective control devices for at least some of the long stator sections such that the secondary parts move along the long stator in a non-uniform manner.

A method for operation of a magnetic levitation railway which contains vehicles with a plurality of supporting magnets () and supporting runners () associated with them. In the event of a malfunction, the braking of the vehicle with the drive and braking systems switched off is brought about or assisted until a preselected destination stopping point is reached solely in that, even before the destination stopping point is reached, at least one of the supporting magnets (for example) is switched off, and the magnetic levitation vehicle is placed on the track path () by means of the associated supporting runner (), and is brought to rest at the destination stopping point by making use of the friction forces that occur as a result. A magnetic levitation vehicle is provided and operated in this way.

Magnetic levitation railway and method for its operation

A magnetic polar arrangement which is intended for magnetic levitation vehicles is described, the magnetic polar arrangement having at least one magnetic pole () with a core () which defines a magnetic pole surface (), and with a winding () which is set back with respect to the magnetic pole surface () in order to form a free space (). The magnetic pole () is provided with a sensor which contains a sensor head (), which is arranged at least partially in the free space (), and an electronic module (). According to the invention the sensor head () is physically separated from the electronic module () and is combined, at least with the core (), to form a single-piece structural unit which is surrounded by a common anti-corrosion layer ().

Magnet arrangement for magnetic levitation vehicles

A magnetic levitation vehicle has at least one magnetic arrangement (). The magnetic arrangement () contains a plurality of magnetic poles () which are arranged one behind the other in the direction of travel and comprise windings () associated therewith. The magnetic levitation vehicle is also provided with a circuit for supplying the windings () with a direct current, said circuit containing switches for selectively switching the magnetic arrangement between a guiding function and/or a braking function.

Magnetic levitation vehicle with at least one magnetic system

The invention relates to a spring carrier for the chassis of a motor vehicle. Said carrier is used to support a coil spring () which is braced between two spring plates (). At least one of said spring plates () can be axially adjusted by means of a drive unit comprising a gearbox and an electric motor. Preferably, at least one part of the piston rod () and/or the shock-absorber tube () of a shock-absorber or a suspension strut is arranged inside the coil spring (). The aim of the invention is to develop one such spring carrier in such a way that the distance between the upper spring end and the vehicle body can be kept small in a cost-effective manner. To this end, the electric motor is embodied in the form of a ring motor having an external stator () and an internal rotor () which comprises a displacement nut on its inner side, said displacement nut axially displacing a spring plate carrier () connected to the spring plate () and externally embodied as a threaded spindle.

A device for driving a vehicle by magnetic levitation includes a synchronous long-stator motor, with a long stator winding extending along a track of the vehicle and subdivided into a plurality of discrete stator winding sections (3.11 to 3.19; 3.21 to 3.29). The vehicle which is movable on the track supports several fixedly mounted exciters cooperating with the stator winding sections. At least one section cable (17, 28) is arranged parallel to a portion of the track and each of its ends is connected to a power sub-station. The section cable has a plurality of consecutive tap points each being connectable via a switching device to an assigned stator winding section. The switching devices are activated when the vehicle runs over the corresponding winding section. To reduce power losses in the section cable, and also to reduce the number of stator winding sections for a given output power of the sub-stations and also to insure a uniform utilization of the available power over the entire track portion, there are provided control means which adjust the ratio of partial current delivered by the respective power sub-stations as a function of the momentary condition of the vehicle and/or as a function of the ratio of a distance (1) of progressively activated stator winding sections from one of the sub-stations, to the length (d) of the section cable between the two sub-stations.
