Abstract

A positioning device configured to position an object, the positioning device comprising: - an object table configured to hold the object; - an electromagnetic motor configured to displace the object table, the electromagnetic motor comprising: - a coil assembly mounted to the object table; - a superconductor assembly configured to co-operate with the coil assembly to generate a driving force on the object table; -a cryogenic enclosure configured to enclose the superconductor assembly and maintain the superconductor assembly in a superconductive state; - a support for supporting the electromagnetic motor; - an electromagnetic support configured to suspend the cryogenic enclosure relative to the support, thereby maintaining a gap between the cryogenic enclosure and the support.
