ABSTRACT:
An independent suspension system is provided for an attraction type magnetically floated travelling body wherein plural modules, each of which is obtained by assembling one or a plurality of electromagnets in combination with a brack and a linear motor, are attached to the travelling body in continuous alignment to confront each of a pair of rails. Each of the modules is connected to the travelling body in such a way as to be movable relative to the travelling body. The suspension system includes a pair of air springs which are separately arranged between the travelling body and each module and are disposed in the front and rear parts of the module to support the weight of the travelling body and to perform a buffering action, two thrust links extending from front and rear pivotal connection points on the module to be pivotally connected to a mounting member provided on the travelling body, and mounting members which are provided for connecting the air springs and the thrust links to the travelling body, each of the mounting members being arranged to be freely movable to a given extent for improvement of the capability of the module to follow the rail.
