Abstract
The drive train of a small scale magnetically levitated train reveals the
principles of a mechatronic system and offers challenges related to
design, construction and control. Therefore, it is used at the Institute
of electrical Machines (IEM) of the RWTH Aachen University as a
demonstrator for engineering solutions. Instead of being a part of a
static predefined student laboratory, the small scale magnetically
levitated train is part of dynamic individual student projects. This
approach provides the advantage that the students are directly involved in
the engineering process and gain motivation out of their personal ideas
becoming reality.
