CAVU Designwerks, Inc., (CAVU) is pleased to announce a partnership with Force Engineering, Ltd., (Force) to sell Linear Induction Motors (LIMS) in China. This partnership positions CAVU as the sole distributor of LIMS in China. Peter Schnabel, CEO of CAVU explains, “The Chinese market for roller coasters is growing at a tremendous pace, creating an unprecedented demand for Linear Induction Motor powered propulsion systems. I’ve been fortunate to work with Force Engineering and the owners, Alan and Neil Foster, for over 25 years. The business relationship has grown into a trustworthy friendship. I am pleased to introduce this quality product and support the need for LIMS by supplying these motors at an exceptional price. Force product allows us to bring a quality product to the market at an exceptional value/price proposition “
Schnabel first introduced LIMS to the theme park industry by powering the Flight of Fear roller coasters for Kings Island and Kings Dominion using Force technology. These frictionless drive systems move the vehicle using only magnetic forces, rather than the typical friction systems with large, noisy motors. The LIM system uses a team of smaller, silent motors along the ride to propel the vehicle forwards. By eliminating the friction on the drive system, the noise for moving the vehicle is eliminated. LIMS are virtually maintenance free and the perfect application for indoor coasters opening in shopping malls where noise elimination is critical. They are an excellent choice for dark rides and almost any kind of transportation system.
Together, CAVU and Force are now introducing the next generation of power saving intelligent LIMs with their new attraction being installed in China in 2019.
