We have proposed a magnetic levitation control system for flexible steel plates and confirmed its feasibility through a digital control experiment. However, there is a risk that side slipping or the dropping of the plate may occur owing to inertial force because the levitation control system does not provide a restraining for the direction of travel. Therefore we have proposed the addition of electromagnetic actuators to control the horizontal motion of levitated steel plate. In addition, we have reported that it is possible to suppress the elastic vibration of steel plate in the vertical direction using the electromagnetic actuators for horizontal positioning. In this paper effect of magnetic field from horizontal direction on the transportation performance of a magnetically levitated flexible steel plate is reported.
