Design and Characterization of a High-Precision Digital Electromagnetic Actuator with Four Discrete Positions

A high-precision planar digital electromagnetic actuator with two displacement directions and four discrete positions is presented in this paper. The four discrete positions are located at each corner of a square cavity where a mobile permanent magnet moves thanks to Lorentz forces generated when a...
