Abstract

Linear direct drives are often used when high performance is required, because of their high dynamic and their good position accuracy. Usually direct drives are used with linear rolling guidance. In clean room and vacuum applications linear rolling guidance cannot be used as particles can be cause problems. In this paper a magnetically levitated linear direct drive with a combination of repulsive permanent magnet stabilization and Lorentz force based stabilization is presented. With the joint use of magnet fields high dynamic can be achieved in combination with a cost efficient hardware. Due to the use of repulsive permanent magnet forces, it is possible to levitate an armature with nearly no power dissipation. An ad-hoc control reduces the power dissipation to a value less than 10 mW.
