Method and device for magnetic translation and rotation

摘要

A magnetic translation and rotation device for transferring translational force and torque from one side of a space divider element to the other side thereof comprises a magnetic cylinder is disposed on one planar surface of a space divider element, with the direction of magnetization of the magnetic cylinder being generally parallel with a longitudinal axis thereof. The longitudinal axis of the magnetic cylinder is generally perpendicular to the plane of the space divider element. On the other side of the space divider element a first magnetic plate and a second magnetic plate are disposed on a transport means, wherein a direction of magnetization of the magnetic plates is perpendicular to a principal plane of the magnetic plates, and wherein the magnetic plates are mounted with their direction of magnetization pointing in opposite directions. The invention also concerns a method based on the operating principle of the device.
