Abstract
The invention relates to an arrangement for the non-contact defined movement of at least one magnetic body, free to move in at least one dimension. A simple arrangement of this type, taking up a reduced volume, of universal application, for both positioning and orientation and also for energy generation and transmission, can be achieved, by means of arranging the body with a magnetic moment in the primary magnetic field of at least one permanent magnet which moves in a defined manner, said body having a secondary magnetic field extending from the body, aligned with the primary magnetic field. At least one magnetic field sensor is provided to record the secondary magnetic field in any position of the body.
