Abstract
In this paper, a new passive maglev system is presented that is capable to levitate at a short distance from a dedicated guide. The magnetic suspension is assured by the repulsion of proper shaped permanent magnets that are present both on the fixed guide and on the moving suspended part. The presence of a conductive (aluminum) sheet that surrounds the magnets on the guide allows to overcome the intrinsic instability of the system when the suspended part is in relative motion with respect to the guide. The motional induced electric currents on the sheet interact with the magnets of the mover producing a stabilizing force. The detailed structure of the proposed system is described and the main results of the simulations by means of a hybrid electromagnetic FEM-MOM code coupled with the equation of motion of the rigid body are shown and commented.
