Transrapid - history |
MAGLEV VEHICLES
for passengers and containerised part-load trafic
- contactless support, guidance and drive technology:
- by controlled electromagnets and a synchronous iron-cored long-stator motor
- maximum avialability and safty:
- by functionally redundant modularised construction of the electromagnetic support and
guidance system
- high travelling comfort:
- by favorable mass ratios and contacless traction
- low energy consumption:
- by optimised aerodynamic shape
even at speeds up to 500 km/h (311.6 mph)
operation by minimum wear and tear
- dimensioned for:
- temperatures of -20 to 40 degree Celsius (-4 to 104 degree Fahrenheit)
crosswind velocities up to 25 m/s (82.0 ft/sec)
