We have reported various characteristics of systems using an X-Y LIM (X-Y Linear Induction Motor) for non-contact transport. Until now, transport, required coincidence of the center of gravity of the bogie-truck and the center of that truck. The center of gravity on the bogie-truck, however, is not always located at the center of the truck because of the load shape, weight, and so forth. We investigated the following aspects of fundamental switching performance of the system: (1) differences in switching caused by shifts in the center of gravity of the bogie-truck; (2) the relationship between starting thrust and switching angle for shifts in the center-of-gravity position on the bogie-truck; and (3) the relationship between starting thrust and rotational angle for center-of-gravity position shifts.
