A guide having passive gravity compensation via a magnet assembly for guiding a first body relative to a second body in a vertical direction has a spring guide which allows movements between a first and second body in the vertical direction and blocks the same in all other directions. The first body is connected to a first magnet and the second body to a second magnet. The second magnet has an opening within which the first magnet is configured, at least in part, so that a repulsion force, which counteracts the gravity of the first body, acts between the first and the second magnet that are each magnetized parallel to the vertical direction, but oppositely, the positive mechanical stiffness of the spring guide being at least partially compensated by a negative stiffness of the magnetic spring formed by the first and second magnets, and the first and second magnets being shaped such that a horizontal distance between the first and second magnet inside of the opening of the second magnet varies in the vertical direction. A platform supported by such guides is provided. |
