Abstract
In the application of high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnetic levitation (maglev) system under vertical inclination of permanent magnetic guideway (PMG), the component of the total weight of levitation body above the PMG will be changed. Therefore, the influence of the vertical inclination of PMG on levitation characteristics of HTS maglev system cannot be ignored, such as the levitation gap, the levitation force, guidance force and driving force of the linear motor. In order to investigate the influence of the vertical inclination angle on levitation characteristics of the HTS maglev system, a HTS maglev launch platform has been designed and fabricated for the investigation the influence of vertical inclination angle between the range of 0° and 18° on the levitation and guidance and driving force parameters of the HTS maglev launch platform. Experimental results show that the levitation gap was the main levitation characteristic for HTS maglev system under vertical inclination of PMG, which increased with increment of the vertical inclination angle. However, the levitation force, and the driving force of the linear motor decreased. The guidance force could not be influenced by the increment of levitation gap. The experimental results are helpful toward improving the running performance of the HTS Maglev launch system.
