A system for wirelessly transmitting power between a track and independent movers in a motion control system includes a pick-up coil provided proximate to the magnets on the movers. The fundamental component of the voltage applied to the drive coils interacts primarily with the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnets on the movers and not with the pick-up coil. Consequently, the pick-up coil does not interfere with desired operation of the movers but rather, interacts primarily with the harmonic components and has current and voltages induced within the pick-up coil as a result of the harmonic components. The energy captured by the pick-up coil reduces the amplitude of eddy currents on the mover. After harvesting the harmonic content, the pick-up coil may be connected to another circuit on the mover and serve as a supply voltage for the other circuit.

A crane-less locked axle cradle system configured to lift a rail vehicle wheel off a rail and transport the lifted wheel along a rail is presented. The present disclosure discloses a system that can lift the locked-axle wheel off the rail with no crane thereby allowing the train with a locked axle to be transported off the mainline in a shorter period of time. A cradle system can have two parts (male and female members with wedges and rail wheels) that can be mated with each other around a rail wheel. As the male and female members are pulled together, locked wheel engagers can couple with different portions of the locked-axle wheel, causing the locked-axle wheel to lift off the rail given the gradient of the wedge or rotation of the wheel. In another embodiment, the wheel lifting can be assisted by an air bag, hydraulic cylinder, jack, or other.

A transfer system for diagnosing a vehicle is provided. The system includes a conveyor that moves the vehicle and a transfer unit that is disposed an input or an output side of the conveyor to move the vehicle into a diagnosing region for vehicle diagnosis. The transfer unit includes a guide rail disposed in both sides of the diagnosing region and a moving body disposed along the guide rail. Swing arms are rotatably connected with a forward and a rear side of the moving body and are concentrated inward to be disposed forward and rearward of a lower portion of a tire. Free rollers are rotatably disposed at each swing arm concentrated inward to clamp the tire. A swing arm driving unit provides a driving force so that the swing arms are concentrated inward or unfolded outward. A moving body moving unit moves the moving body along the guide rail.
