Abstract

There is provided a vibration eliminating apparatus utilizing a magnetic suspending system which achieves zero power control. The vibration eliminating apparatus includes a table on which equipment to be installed, magnetic yokes fixed on the table, control magnets for suspending the magnetic yokes from an installation floor, displacement sensors for measuring gaps between the control magnets and the magnetic yokes, power amplifiers for supplying exciting currents to the control magnets, and compensation circuits for controlling the exciting currents of the control magnets by supplying outputs from the displacement sensors to the power amplifiers. Each control magnet includes a permanent magnet for generating a bias magnetic flux and an electromagnet for generating a control magnetic flux to form a magnetic circuit. An integrated value of the exciting current fed to the electromagnet is fed back to the power amplifier.
