Thrust Force Data
The data that is provided in Table A-2 shows the available thrust for QSHT motors at
10.9 Amps stator current using a high flux magnet array. This data is graphed in Figure A-2,
which shows how the available thrust increases with an increase in the number of magnet
array cycles. The chart also shows that as the Vehicle Gap increases, the available thrust
decreases.
