Abstract

A linear induction motor, particularly for levitation-type vehicles (e.g., magnetic-suspension vehicles), has a stator juxtaposed with a reaction rail and formed with a plurality of longitudinally spaced windings or coils interdigitated with damping bars forming a damping cage with a pair of longitudinal conductors flanking the stator core. The latter is constituted by a lamination stack and is formed, in the region facing the reaction rail, with a plurality of slots in which portions of the coils are received. The slots increase in depth outwardly and the coils have portions which progressively recede from the reaction rail outwardly.
