Electromagnetic conveyor

Abstract

This Levited transporter is known as “ELECTROMAGNETIC CONVEYOR”. This conveyor is different from
other more conventional, industrial conveyor in that it requires surface contact for traction and it is able to move freely
over a variety of surface while supported continuously on a self-generated levitation of air. Though the concept is
different, the rate of development of Levied conveyor has been outstandingly faster than that of any other mode of
conveying. We thought on the lines of improving his design from the aspect of reducing the Vibration and frictional
resistances encountered by a conveyor moving on the guide rails. We struck upon the idea of using magnets in steps on
the track, which would help to guide the material more gradually without any shock and vibration. To reduce jerks and
uneven movement the magnetic affect must increase and vice versa. Most normal designs are a compromise between the
two. We imagined that if we could introduce a coil between the two separated guide rails a great magnetic field can be
created and by the control system the problem of conveying from start to end can be effectively minimized
