The continuous steel plate production line extends several kilometers long, and during that time the steel plate is transported in contact with rollers. The surface quality of the steel plate deteriorates due to the friction caused by the contact between the steel plate and the roller. Therefore, we proposed a non-contact guide system for traveling continuous steel plates. High guidance performance could be obtained by installing the electromagnet along with the shape of the traveling steel plate. However, it has not been analytically obtained the shape of the continuous steel plate. In this study, we calculated the static shape of the steel plate with a thickness of 0.3 mm and analyzed the response when a disturbance was applied to the steel plate. In addition, the vibration characteristics of the continuous steel plate were examined by inputting disturbance from an electromagnet to the stationary continuous steel plate.
