A variety of materials may be used to construct the vehicles in a MagneMover LITE transport
system, provided the material can carry the payload without deflecting while supporting the
magnet array in the correct relationship to the motors. In general, use a lighter weight vehicle
to maximize the acceleration capability of the system for moving the payload.
Wheels or rollers are used to support the vehicle(s) on the guideway while allowing the vehi-
cles to move freely upstream and downstream. They also maintain a consistent space between
the magnet array attached to the vehicle and the MagneMover LITE motors (Vehicle Gap).
Wheel and roller materials affect the frictional resistance, which affects the amount of thrust
needed to move a vehicle. The selected material should be hard enough to provide a low roll-
ing resistance but, depending on the environment the system is used in, soft enough to not cre-
ate excess noise when traversing joints between guideway sections.
Vehicles may have one or two magnet arrays attached to the surface closest to the motors
based on the use of the vehicle as shown in
Figure 3-10 and Figure 3-11 .
Single Array Puck
Pucks with single magnet arrays are used in MagneMover LITE transport systems where all
material being moved weighs less than 1 kg.
Figure 3-10: Standard Puck Configuration
Dual Array (Tandem) Puck
Tandem pucks consist of two independent pucks connected to a mounting plate by pivots,
where each puck has its own magnet array. Tandem pucks are typically used in MagneMover
LITE transport systems where the material being moved weighs between 1 kg and 2 kg.
