5.5 Measurement system with more functions and higher precision Ë 137Fig. 5.25:Guidance forces of an array of 7 YBCO bulk samples of diameter 30 mm (FCH 35 mm,

Fig. 5.26:The guidance forces of 7 YBCO bulks
with diameter of 30 mm are measured by SCML-
02 (FCH of 20 mm, MH range of 10–30 mm,
lateral measurement range of−10 to 10 mm)
[11].The levitation forces and guidance forces of YBCO bulks were measured with the
SCML-02 HTS Maglev measurement system. The measurement results of HTS Maglev
properties validated the accuracy and reliability of the SCML-02.
The SCML-02 measurement system can make real-time measurements, and the
data acquisition process is controlled by a computer. The main functions and spe-
cifications of the system are verified. A lot of precious experimental results have
been obtained from this system, like the Maglev vehicle’s levitation force, guidance
force, their stiffness, and cross stiffness, etc. (see Chapters 8, 9, and 10). All these
experimental parameters are very helpful to evaluate the load capability of the HTS
Maglev vehicle.
