Abstract

See full text

A magnetic levitation vehicle is described, which comprises a car body (2), being mounted by means of pneumatic air springs (4) on a suspension frame (5), said suspension frame (5) being supported by means of supporting points (5b) on pairs of carrying magnets (35A, 35B). According to the invention a control device (14) is assigned to said pneumatic springs (4) in such a manner that on failure of one of the two carrying magnets (35A, 35B) the pressure in the pneumatic springs (4) can automatically be reduced to a pre-selected fraction of the nominal air pressure (FIG. 3).
