Magnetically Levitated Planar Actuator with Moving Magnets [PDF]
2007 IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference, 2007 This paper concerns the design, optimization, and commutation of a six-degree-of-freedom planar actuator with an active magnetic bearing. The planar motor has a stationary coil array and a translator with a Halbach magnet array. During movements in the plane, the set of energized coils changes with the position of the translator.
