A stage device for positioning an object. The stage device includes a slider for holding the object, a driving section for driving the slider with respect to a base, wherein the slider is supported in a suspended state on the base by a static-pressure bearing and a pressurizing magnet, and a countering section for holding the driving section and canceling a reaction force that acts upon the driving section. The countering section is supported in a suspended state on the base by a static-pressure bearing and a pressurizing magnet. Also, the relation Fm=Fa+Fg is satisfied, wherein Fm represents the attraction force of the magnet, Fg the weight of the stage, and Fa the pressure produced by the static-pressure bearing.
