Abstract
In this study, we developed a new type transport system utilizing the magnetic noncontact levitation due to superconducting pinning effect. We measured magnetic forces between a superconductor and a magnet. By contriving magnetic unit composed of opposed direction magnets and yokes, we obtained sufficient magnetic force for stable levitation of shuttle of the transport system. The new transport system developed in this study was demonstrated a great feasibility as a novel superconducting mechanical system.
