Positioning device of magnetic suspension type

摘要

A positioning device of magnetic suspension type is disclosed, which comprises a cylindrical stationary member and a cylindrical floating member arranged coaxially with the stationary member. The floating member is supported in non-contact state with respect to the stationary member by the magnetic forces produced by a plurality of magnetic circuits. The device further includes at least one control coil disposed such that it crosses the flux passing through the magnetic circuit. When the control coil is energized, it receives an electromagnetic force for displacing the floating member in co-operation with the flux from the magnetic circuit.
