 Abstract   Based on the decoupled control method of attractive-normal and thrust forces in a single-sided linear induction motor (SLIM), a compact combined-levitation-and-propulsion SLIM Maglev vehicle can be realized without any additional levitation magnet. In a Maglev system, if the distance between two pillars of the guideway is long compared with the vehicle length, a vibration of the guideway is one of the most important problems to be solved. This paper presents a combined-levitation-and-propulsion control to suppress the guideway vibration in Maglev vehicle realized by SLIM only. For very difficult levitation control combined with propulsion, much more accurate airgap length has been estimated from measured one by sensor and short-primary end effects on attractive levitation force has been taken into account. Experimental results has shown that the vehicle can be stably propelled and levitated simultaneously on the flexible guideway.
