Thin steel plates are widely used in various industrial products, and these products demand plates with a high-quality surface. However, there is a problem in that surface quality and metal plating are degraded during transport. As a solution to this, non-contact transport of steel plates electromagnetic force has been proposed. It was previously confirmed that, by applying a magnetic field in the horizontal direction, the levitation stability of transported thin steel plates improved under different transport conditions. However, the positions at which to install the electromagnets in the horizontal direction has not yet been investigated. Therefore, in this report, we investigated the positions at which a magnetic field should be applied in the horizontal direction and confirmed that the positions are related to improving the levitation stability of steel plates.
