Abstract

A superconducting machine device is disclosed including a machine; a rotor including a superconductive coil; and a cooling system including at least one incline-intolerant component for cooling the coil. In at least one embodiment, at least one component is held by a carrier compensating for an incline of the machine device.

Claims (17)

1. A superconducting machine device, comprising:

a machine;

a rotor including a superconducting winding;

a cooling system, including at least one inclination-intolerant component, for cooling of the superconducting winding, wherein the at least one inclination-intolerant component is held by a mount which compensates for any inclination of the superconducting machine device; and

a mount, operated by a force of gravity.

2. The machine device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the mount is pivotable about at least one rotation axis which runs transversely with respect to a vertical axis of the machine, wherein the center of gravity of the mount is located at a position below its rotation axis.

3. The machine device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the position of the center of gravity is achieved by a counterweight, arranged on the mount.

4. The machine device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a cooling-system component, positioned on the mount, is used as the counterweight.

5. The machine device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the mount is mounted on at least one circular guide.

6. The machine device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein a rotation axis of the mount is aligned with a rotation axis of the rotor.

7. The machine device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein all of the components which are connected to one another via lines are arranged on the mount.

8. The machine device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the mount is mounted on at least one circular guide.

9. The machine device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a rotation axis of the mount is aligned with a rotation axis of the rotor.

10. The machine device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein all of the components which are connected to one another via lines are arranged on the mount.

11. The machine device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the mount is mounted on at least one circular guide.

12. The machine device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a rotation axis of the mount is aligned with a rotation axis of the rotor.

13. The machine device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein all of the components which are connected to one another via lines are arranged on the mount.
