SCML-01, and especially variations in the distances between the eight on-board HTS
magnetic levitation equipments and the center of the PMG. The accuracy of the measu-
rement system SCML-01 was high. Although there were some differences between the
measurement process and the results, the general measurement results were reliable.
Figure 6.61 shows the summary of the measurement results of the eight HTS Maglev
equipments.
In addition, in order to simulate the actual situation for the Maglev vehicle, the
levitation forces of two parallel on-board HTS Maglev equipments were measured
with the SCML-01 because the levitation forces of the Maglev vehicle system on a
