Electromagnetic suspension system

1. An electromagnetic suspension system with a linear motor, comprising:

an outer tube in a shape of a cylinder, one end of which is closed, the outer tube having a magnet at an inner periphery thereof;

a hollow first rod movably inserted in the outer tube, one end of the first rod extending out of the outer tube, the first rod having an armature around an outer periphery of an other end thereof; and

a second rod having one end slidably fitted to an inner periphery of the first rod, an other end of the second rod being secured to a bottom of the outer tube;

wherein a gap is defined between an inner periphery of the one end of the first rod and an outer periphery of the second rod,

wiring is disposed in the gap,

a one end of the wiring is connected to the armature, and

an opposite end of the wiring extends to an outside of the first rod.

2. The electromagnetic suspension system of claim 1 , wherein the wiring includes a bus bar.

3. The electromagnetic suspension system of claim 2 , wherein the inner periphery of the first rod has an inner diameter at the one end thereof and an inner diameter at the other end thereof, and the inner diameter at the one end of the first rod is larger than the inner diameter at the other end of the first rod.

4. The electromagnetic suspension system of claim 2 , wherein a protecting member is disposed at the inner periphery of the first rod,

the wiring is disposed between an inner peripheral surface of the first rod and the protecting member such that the wiring is protected from the second rod.

5. The electromagnetic suspension system of claim 1 , wherein the inner periphery of the first rod has an inner diameter at the one end thereof and an inner diameter at the other end thereof, and the inner diameter at the one end of the first rod is larger than the inner diameter at the other end of the first rod.

6. The electromagnetic suspension system of claim 5 , wherein a protecting member is disposed at the inner periphery of the first rod,

the wiring is disposed between an inner peripheral surface of the first rod and the protecting member such that the wiring is protected from the second rod.

7. The electromagnetic suspension system of claim 1 , wherein a protecting member is disposed at the inner periphery of the first rod,

the wiring is disposed between an inner peripheral surface of the first rod and the protecting member such that the wiring is protected from the second rod.

8. The electromagnetic suspension system of claim 1 , wherein the first rod has a large-diameter portion forming the one end of the first rod, and a small-diameter portion forming the other end of the first rod;

the first rod further has a stepped portion formed at a boundary between the large-diameter portion and the small-diameter portion,

the first rod is provided with a wiring hole which extends obliquely through the stepped portion; and

the wiring of the armature extends through the wiring hole from an outer periphery of the small-diameter portion to an inner periphery of the large-diameter portion.

9. The electromagnetic suspension system of claim 1 , wherein a cylindrical wiring member is attached to one end of a space in the first rod, and

a section of the wiring extending from the armature and a section of the wiring extending to the outside of the first rod are connected by the wiring member.

10. The electromagnetic suspension system of claim 9 , wherein the wiring member has an axial electrically conducting portion and an axial insulating portion which extend in an axial direction and which alternate with each other in a circumferential direction; and

the wiring member has an outer peripheral insulating portion around an outer periphery thereof.
