Guideways
Just as with any conveyance technology, vehicle motion imparts dynamic loads on the guide-
way system. Ensure the guideway is adequately secured to a rigid, permanent structure, such
as the equipment the guideway is associated with or the floor, wall, or ceiling which will
reduce vibrations and other stresses on the system.

Basic guideway design guidelines and considerations:
• The guideway can have any orientation in relation to the motors and vehicles as long
as the magnet array on the vehicle is held in position next to the top of the motor.
• The guideway must hold the motors in position to ensure the motor to motor spacing
does not change (see
Figure 3-6 ). The Motor Gap should not be larger than 1 mm.
• The guideway must hold the motors and support the vehicles to ensure the Vehicle
Gap (see
Figure 3-12 ) is maintained throughout the system.
• Guide rails on which the vehicles roll should be held flat to within ±0.5 mm. This
allows the Vehicle Gap to be as small as possible, maximizing vehicle thrust.
• The guideway must provide features to allow the vehicle maintain its position on the
guideway (see
Figure 3-9 ).
• The joints between sections of the guideway should be as smooth as possible to mini-
mize noise and wear.
• The payload, vehicle mass, and as applicable, the motor mass must be within the limits
of the guideway.
• The guideway must provide proper grounding to ensure static dissipation.
