Issues addressed

The project designed and built an electric linear motor with switched reluctance (SRLM) for moving a container platform. The test system has demonstrated that this innovative approach provides excellent ability to move cargo in intra-port operations with zero CO2 emissions, at reduced unit costs. The project contributes to the development of an emission-free method of transporting large loads using a linear engine.

Project beneficiaries

Operators of container ports and transhipment terminals who are ready to apply a modern solution and, at the same time, decarbonize and improve transport and transshipment logistics. The target group also includes all companies dealing in HYPERLOOP magnetic transport.

Major implementation challenges

Magneto was responsible for the design of the magnetic cores and their technical properties. It turned out to be necessary to build a demonstrator that met the requirements of the project description. This allowed its design to be adapted to fully realistic and repeatable very precise production processes on an industrial scale. Our biggest challenge was to meet the extremely high requirements for the production of large magnetic elements and their very precise assembly on the test track.

Our advice to other applicants

An extremely precise cost analysis is necessary, as well as ensuring the maximum possible flexibility in project implementation at the stage of writing the project application. Attention should also be paid to the proper selection of quality parameters used during the implementation of the design of materials and components. In our case, this concerned primarily electrotechnical belts, not only in terms of remagnetization losses but also in terms of extremely small tolerances of their geometric dimensions.
