Thanks to its defined levitation gap, not only can superconducting systems operate in all spatial planes, but they can also operate through walls. This unlocks completely new possibilities for handling in protected spaces or over cladding. SupraTransport demonstrates how the combination of superconductor technology and a permanent magnetic rail can achieve a particularly large and at the same time stable levitation gap.
SupraTransport’s L-shaped workpiece carrier levitates at a considerable distance above a magnetic rail thanks to a permanent magnet attached to its underside. Another permanent magnet is attached at a 90° angle to it, which is coupled with and kept stable by a superconductor. It thereby fixes the position of the workpiece carrier above the magnetic rail.
在托架和超导体以及磁轨之间配有盖子，巧妙地将工作空间与周围环境隔开。借助电缸，带有超导体的低温恒温器和与之耦合的悬浮托架都可以沿着磁轨移动。
悬浮间隙特别大，因而应用清洁更加容易——这在实验室自动化、医疗技术、食品或制药行业或包装技术中尤其有益。此外，托架可以很容易地悬浮通过小障碍物。
