Abstract
We have been developing a three-dimensional (3-D) superconducting actuator consists of a field-cooled HTS bulk for mover and two-dimensional arranged multiple electromagnets as a stator. The HTS bulk is magnetically connected with electromagnets and it can be moved in 3-D directions and rotates without upper side electromagnets and spatial restrictions. The current and the polarity of each electromagnet were individually controlled by the switching power supply. In this paper, we experimentally investigated the effects of the shapes of HTS bulks (disk shape with/without inner hole) and electromagnets (4 and 8 polarities) in points of stabilities and forces of levitation.
