  • Patent number: 9754711
    Abstract: A vibration isolator is provided including a base structure, a load structure, a displacement structure and at least one vertical open gap formed by opposing and substantially parallel walls of the base structure and the load structure. The opposing walls being at least partly covered by respective arrays of permanent magnets, neighboring magnets in the arrays having alternating magnetization directions, an arrangement of the permanent magnets in the arrays being such that a gravitational force on the load structure is substantially compensated by a net magnetic force of the base structure on the load structure. The displacement structure relatively displaces arrays of permanent magnets of the opposing walls with respect to each along the gap for adjusting a load capacity of the vibration isolator.

  • Patent number: 9068623
    Abstract: An electromagnetic actuator (100) comprises magnets (109, 111, 113, 115, 11), and a ferromagnetic structure (103) accommodating control conductors (118, 121, 123, 125). The magnets and the structure can move with respect to one another under control of control currents in the control conductors. The magnetic field in a gap (107) between the magnets and the ferromagnetic structure is oriented perpendicular to the direction of relative movement. The structure (103) accommodates damping conductors (127) that form closed loops of an electrically conductive material, different from the ferromagnetic material. The damping conductors (127) provide a damping force induced by the relative movement.

  • Patent number: 8587161
    Abstract: A moving device comprises at least a first element provided with main magnets and a second element provided with coils. The main magnets are arranged in a grid of rows and columns, wherein main magnets in adjacent rows are oppositely polarised and staggered relative to each other. The coils can be energized for moving the first element relative to the second element in a direction parallel to the rows as well as in a direction parallel to the columns. Auxiliary magnets of the same polarity are disposed between the main magnets at least in a number of rows, wherein the strength of the magnetic field of said auxiliary magnets is different from that of the main magnets.
