Abstract: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential of magnetic levitation (MagLev) systems, with a focus on their ability to reduce motion resistance, increase service life, and improve energy efficiency. The review is based on an analysis of scientific and technical literature and patents, including research on the basic principles of magnetic levitation, technology development, technical characteristics, and types of magnetic levitation systems. The prospects for the use of magnetic levitation conveyors to improve the efficiency of transport technologies for transporting rock mass are analyzed. The problems of wear and tear on transport equipment, limited speed and productivity, as well as the disadvantages of traditional conveyors operated in mining conditions are considered. It is shown that there are currently many directions for creating levitation for belt conveyors. It has been found that the most promising for the mining industry are systems based on permanent magnets, combining zero energy consumption, the ability to influence the configuration of the magnetic field, and resistance to external influences. The main conclusions confirm that the introduction of MagLev conveyors will significantly improve the reliability, safety, and economic efficiency of cargo transportation, but this direction requires further research to overcome technical and economic barriers.
