Six-Axis Levitated Stage with a Novel Flux-Steering Magnetic Hub Actuator

This thesis presents a two-axis, permanent-magnet-biased, flux-steering actuator and its integration into a levitated stage. The hub actuator consists of a steel stator ring (165 mm OD) and a steel mover cylinder (52 mm OD). The stator has four teeth evenly spaced and pointing radially inward, each...
