ABSTRACT:
A ferromagnetic track positioning type magnetic levitation transport system which transports without contact a large variety of ferromagnetic objects without impairing the expandability of the track. The track is composed of support units 3, propulsion units 5 and guidance units 7. In the support units 3, multiple magnetic support units 15 are mounted so that they are vertically moveable. Attraction control device 19 performs levitation control which contributes to the vertical movement of the center of gravity of the part of steel plate X overlapping support unit 3 and levitation control which contributes to the rolling of the same part of steel plate X. The height of steel plate X is maintained at a specified position by controlling height adjustment mechanisms with height control system 53. Stabilization of the pitching of steel plate X accomplished using coil springs 47 and dampers 49 which are provided in support units 3. Movement and at the same time, decrease of yawing of steel plate X is caused by propulsion unit 5. Guidance of steel plate X in the left and right directions is performed by guidance unit 7.
