Computational investigation of the effect of the cone angle of an armature of a cone-shaped pole on the static tractive characteristic of a shell magnetic system is carried out. Computations were carried out by the finite-element method. The static tractive characteristic is shown to remain monotonous with a cone angle that decreases from 17° to 11°. The static tractive characteristic reveals two location maximums at a variation in the cone angle of the pole from 6° to 0°.
