Abstract
Permanent magnet electrodynamic suspensions are good candidates to enable ground transportation systems to reach very high speeds. In these suspensions, the pole pitch of the permanent magnet field source has a significant influence on their performance. This article, therefore, studies qualitatively the impact of performance criteria, whether partial, such as the lift-to-drag ratio, or global, such as the global cost, on the optimal pole pitch. It is shown that the latter depends both on the considered criteria and the operating conditions. In addition, it is pointed out that 3-D models considering the edge effects are essential to derive the optimal pole pitch.
