Abstract

This study investigates the dynamic electromagnetic characteristics and thermo-mechanical coupling effect of the linear permanent magnet electrodynamic suspension system (PMEDS) via high-speed test rig. Besides, a physical prototype weighing 1.5 tons along with a 50-m linear copper guideway is developed and tested. Firstly, the topology structure along with fundamental operation model is introduced, followed by establishing the analytical model. Subsequently, a multi-functional test rig is utilized to experimentally determine its speed characteristics, lateral stability, and vertical vibration, while also validating the simulation and analytical models. Additionally, thermo-mechanical coupling analysis is conducted through co-simulation, experimentation and calculation to determine the dependence of temperature on the levitation and drag forces. Finally, a prototype vehicle integrated with auxiliary components, is fabricated and tested on a copper guideway. The vehicle is suspended freely via levitation force in the air above 30 mm, with tested suspension height generally aligning with dynamic simulation results.
