Abstract

A guiding magnet system for a magnetic levitation vehicle is described. The guiding magnet system has a plurality of magnet arrangements (50, 51, 57) which each comprise a core (33) extending in the vehicle's longitudinal direction and have at least two winding levels (planes). In each winding plane an even number of windings (58, 60 or 59, 62) is provided. At one end of the magnet arrangements (50, 51, 57) two windings (e.g. 58a, 58b) each lying one behind the other but diagonally above each other and being connected in series, form a pair of windings linked to an assigned control circuit. At the other end of said magnet arrangement either also two such winding pairs or single winding pairs are provided which comprise two windings (60a, 60b or 61a, 61b) arranged one behind the other. Further, a magnetic levitation vehicle equipped with such a guiding magnet system is described (FIG. 10).
