Abstract

The purpose of the present research is to find approaches for the implementation of constructive solutions that allow for stable suspension and transverse stabilization of magnetolevitation transport systems based on permanent magnets. In order to achieve this goal, the methods of physical modeling were used. Measurements of the magnitude of magnetic induction were carried out using a certified magnetometer Aktakom ATE-8702. While conducting experiments and creating physical models, NdFeB permanent magnets with dimensions of 21x21x21 mm were used. As a result, the suspension and transverse stabilization design based on permanent magnets has been developed and patented. Within the framework of the research, a mock-up of a suspension device for a magnetolevitation transport system was developed and manufactured. The outcomes obtained can be used in the development of technical units with reduced energy consumption, with a minimum coefficient of friction in the guides (escalators, travelators, elevators, etc.), with reduced vibration (magnetic supports) and with minimal consumption of lubricants.
