Abstract |
At the University of Paderborn a mechatronic railway system is developed, at which autonomous
shuttles are guided by ordinary wheels and rails and driven by a doubly fed linear motor. The primary
(i.e. stator) is installed between the rails, and the secondary (i.e. rotor) is fixed below the undercarriage.
In this paper the modelling, calculation and analysis of a prototype of such a linear motor on a
scale 1:2.5 are described in detail. Finally, the distribution of primaries along the NBP test track is
also illustrated. |
