The short stator Linear Induction Motor (LIM) is normally used in mid-low speed maglev trains. The restriction by mounting space on bogies and motor input voltages lead to that maglev train speed can only reach about 100 km/h. In this paper, by means of optimizing the LIM mounting and the input voltage of LIM on the bogie layout, the LIM traction force is improved in the higher speed section. LIM traction systems can adapt to the max speed of 140 km/h. Through comparing to the LIM optimization calculation and testing with the reference LIM, it is proved that the modified LIM traction system can achieve the speed of 140 km/h so that the application possibility of maglev vehicle in higher speed ranges significant increases.
