This paper proposes a new type of self-bearing motor which uses Lorentz force. It is expected to have good dynamic response, and high levitation capability. For realizing high magnetic flux in airgap, Halbach magnet is used for the rotor. First, the fundamental principle is introduced how the motor produces rotating torque and radial levitation force. Next, Halbach magnet is introduced. Then the motor is designed and its radial levitation force is calculated using FEM. Finally, the experimental setup is desined and discussed.
