Abstract
A body is equipped with magnetically connected radial and axial actuator targets. The radial actuator target features a cylindrical lateral surface. The axial actuator target features the first and the second end-facing surfaces. A radial pole is adapted to communicate a magnetic flux with the cylindrical lateral surface. Magnetically connected first and second axial poles are located axially on one side of the radial pole and adapted to communicate magnetic fluxes with the first and the second end-facing surfaces. The first axial pole, the second axial pole and the axial actuator target form a magnetic axial control circuit. The radial pole, the radial actuator target, the axial actuator target, the first axial pole and the second axial pole form the magnetic bias circuit. Superposition of magnetic fluxes in the axial control circuit and in the bias circuit results in an axial force acting on the axial actuator target.
