The superconducting magnetically levitated transport (Maglev) system is a focus of interest as a future mode of transport at high speeds of over 500 km/h. Using a computational model of the vertical and pitching motions of a Maglev train, a study is conducted on the effectiveness of a maximum force control of the primary suspension using electromagnetic forces output by a bogie-integrated linea...

In this paper, we propose a newly developed suspension system called “Pentad Grade Assist Suspension (PEGASUS)”. PEGASUS has high mobility as well as rocker-bogie suspension, with very simple mechanism called only-one-joint architecture. PEGASUS is able to successfully climb up on the stepalike terrain with low energy consumption by scale model test. The prototype of micro planetary rover Micro...

The benefits of substituting the conventional solid wheelset by independently rotating wheels (IRW) in actively steered trailed railway vehicles have already been presented in many works. If a traction system is included in this kind of vehicle it will interact strongly with the active steering system. This paper investigates how traction and active steering systems can be combined in an IRW bo...

Salah satu suku cadang yang penting dalam kendaraan jenis tank adalah perangkat roda disebut bogie wheel. Boggie wheel merupakan bagian dari sistem terdiri track, arm, bracket dsb. Bogie terbuat material aluminium ditempa (forging). Saai ini proses pembuatan whell menggunakan baja dengan permesinan. Akibat pergantian tersebut maka bertambah bobotnya sebesar 4 ton. Hal berpengaruh pada manuver s...
