Linear asynchronous motors (LAM) are successfully used in transport abroad (in overhead cranes, in induction magnetohydrodynamic converters and on suspended monorails, which is of the greatest interest), and various circuits and control devices for transport installations are used. ...

Linear electric motors are applicable in mine electric locomotive haulage; their introduction on monorail lines is a significant step forward in the technical progress of transport. In this case, high efficiency is achieved, a high power-to-weight ratio, and simplicity of design, which facilitates repair and maintenance in operation, provides traction on steep ascents, eliminates noise and vibration during operation, and ensures that there is no contact between moving parts. ...
