A switch assembly for magnetic levitation railways includes a girder extending in a travel direction (x) and flexible transversely to it is provided with travel way or equipment parts. A rail and a rack are located transversely to the travel direction. A load-bearing frame, receiving the girder, has a rotatably supported carrying wheel braced on the rail and a drive mechanism with a gear wheel meshing with the rack and with a motor intended for driving it. Switch adjustment is effected by displacement of the load-bearing frame along the rail by means of the drive mechanism and a thus-effected flexing of the girder. The girder, the load-bearing frame and the drive mechanism form a solidly joined-together structural unit which as a whole is located displaceably in the travel direction (x) relative to the rail and the rack.

Switch assembly for magnetic levitation railways

The invention relates to a bending mount () for a switch arrangement for magnetically levitated railways. The bending mount comprises at least a box-shaped support element () that extends in the longitudinal direction (x) and on which are fixed successively arranged supporting metal sheets () that extend on both sides of the support element and serve to assemble the pieces of equipment (). According to the invention, the supporting metal sheets () are configured as single-piece components which extend over the width of the bending mount and are interlinked in the longitudinal direction to form a chain. Said chain essentially does not influence the flexural rigidity of the support element () in the desired direction (y) of a switching arrangement but exhibits a high rigidity against torsion about the longitudinal axis (x) and against vibrations in the vertical direction (z).

Flexible steel girder and switch assembly producer therewith for magnetic levitation railways

The invention relates to a laying vehicle for laying electric lines () in the grooves () of an inductor (), for example a longitudinal stator of a maglev railway. The laying vehicle contains a first, preceding vehicle part () comprising a bending and offset unit () for configuring winding undulations, a second following vehicle part () comprising a pressing station () for pressing limbs () of the undulations into the grooves (), the second vehicle part () being displaceable in relation to the first vehicle part () and a slide () that is coupled in a driven manner to the first vehicle part (), for transferring the undulations to the second vehicle part (). According to the invention, a delivery unit (), which is coupled to the second vehicle part (), is located between the slide () and the pressing station (), said unit receiving the limbs () from the slide () and transferring them to the pressing station () at essentially constant intervals.

Apparatus for laying at least one electric line into the grooves of a longitudinal stator

A device is described for connecting an, at least in part, electrically conductive sheath () of an alternating current winding (), which is placed into the grooves () of a long-stator (), to a ground conductor (). The device comprises a sleeve () partly enclosing the winding () and being provided with a connecting element () for said ground conductor (). According to the invention the sleeve (), the ground conductor () an the connecting element () are exclusively made of a non-corrosive metal (FIG.).
