While famous for trains like the L0 Series (Japan) , Maglev technology has diverse high-tech applications: : "Maglev bearings" support spinning shafts with zero

: By using magnetic attraction or repulsion, Maglev trains "float" above a guideway. This lack of contact allows them to reach speeds exceeding 600 km/h (373 mph), nearly twice as fast as conventional high-speed rail. This lack of contact allows them to reach

: Maglev conveyors transport delicate items like LCD screens and semiconductors in "clean rooms" without creating dust or vibrations from mechanical bearings.

: In many systems, the further a vehicle moves from its centered position, the stronger the magnetic force becomes to push it back into place. This "magnetic cushion" makes derailment virtually impossible.
