Abstract

The electromagnetic and mechanical properties of electromagnetic suspension (EMS) high-speed maglevs are crucial. Based on a real full-size 600 km/h EMS high-speed maglev at Tongji University, this paper studied the electromagnetic and mechanical properties of the maglev using the finite element method (FEM). Compared to the conventional 430 km/h maglev, the 600 km/h high-speed maglev needed a larger air gap for more tolerance, and thus better electromagnetic performance, e.g., with a levitation electromagnetic current of 27 A and a maximum vertical magnetic field of 0.86 T in the air gap (modeling). Preliminary analysis of magnetic field harmonics was conducted through Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The study provides proper references of the electromagnetic, mechanical, and magnetic field harmonic characteristics for 600 km/h EMS maglevs, which are useful for the actual development of future high-speed maglevs.
