<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simple measuring method for positioning a body capable of using a compactly configured and easily mountable magnetic bearing arrangement. Ž<P>SOLUTION: In the magnetic bearing arrangement, support coils are connected in series and can be fed with a current. By coupling a point 18 connecting the two support coils 14, 14' to a voltage source, the support coils can be used as actuating elements and, by feeding the support coils 14, 14' with voltage pulses, the inductance of the support coils 14, 14' can be inferred which is an indirect indication of the position of the body 10 to be supported. This enables position control. Using the same support coils 14, 14', a stably controlled load-bearing capacity can thus be produced and at the same time a position sensor can be replaced.
