摘要:
A system and method are used to levitate and translate a stage within a chamber using a motor assembly coupled to a balance mass assembly. The balance mass assembly is positioned adjacent the chamber. The motor assembly includes a stator and a coil. One of the stator and the coil are coupled to the stage on a first side of a wall of the chamber. The other of the stator and the coil are coupled to the balance mass assembly on a second side of the wall of the chamber. A magnetic assembly coupled to the stage allows the stage to levitate within the chamber. Once levitated, the stage is translated based on the interaction of the magnets and an energized coil.
