Description
The linear asynchronous traction motor (LIM) is intended for metro systems with linear drive, in which traction force is produced without a rotating shaft and gearing, through the interaction of an inductor mounted on the car bogie with a reaction rail laid along the track. This scheme allows the wheel diameter and car height, and hence the tunnel cross-section, to be reduced, and provides traction that does not depend on wheel–rail adhesion, which matters for steep gradients and tight curves. The typical motor has a rated power of 120 kW, dimensions 2530 × 710 mm (length × width) and a mass of 1350 kg; cooling is natural air without a fan, which simplifies maintenance. Motors of this type are used on the Toei Oedo line in Tokyo, on 12-600 series trains: in 1990–2000, 58 sets with 1192 motors were delivered; maximum speed 70 km/h. Linear motors are part of the overall range of traction machines together with asynchronous and permanent-magnet synchronous motors; design is carried out for the characteristics of a specific train using the finite element method. Production takes place at the plant in Japan, certified to EN 15085-2, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. The item is relevant for light-metro projects and automated transport systems with linear drive.
