Recently, many kinds of magnetic levitation systems have been proposed and developed for a utilization in factory automation systems. This progress of the development is depending on the appearance of new types of permanent magnets and new control theories. On the other hand, some systems have simple structures in which couples roles are given for both levitation and conveyance. As for these systems, however, we need many trials to establish the system configurations and the control theory. The authors have developed a new magnetically levitated carrying system driven by LIM. The system can be completely detached from guide way both in mechanical and electrical meanings. In this paper, the experimental results, especially the driving characteristics of a vehicle without any contacts to the LIM guide way are discussed.
