Summary

The development of a superconducting Maglev system in Japan started more than 30 years ago. Since 1997, the running tests have been successfully continued on the Yamanashi test line. A manned run in 1999 attained a speed of 552 km/h. The Yamanashi test results proved a remarkable stability of the onboard superconducting magnet system. In these 30 years, the author encountered many difficult problems during this development. In the paper, the history of the Maglev development is introduced focusing on these problems, especially with regards to superconducting magnets and onboard refrigerators.
