Dual Array Vehicle
Vehicles with two magnet arrays, as shown in Figure 3-41, are typically used in precision rail
systems when the material being moved weighs up to 5 kg [11.0 lb]. See Figure 4-43, Preci-
sion Rail Dual Array Vehicle Mechanical Drawing, on page 192 for details.

For proper operation, the payload on the vehicle and the velocity of the vehicle must fit within
the curve that is shown in Figure 3-40.
