Abstract:
The invention pertains to a stage system, and to a lithographic apparatus and a method for manufacturing a device in which a stage system is used. In the stage system a positioning system is provided comprising an actuator adapted to position an object table. The actuator comprises a magnet assembly and a coil assembly. The magnet assembly comprises a first magnetic body and a second magnetic body, which are in use subjected to a internal magnetic force. The magnet assembly has a separate interface for connecting each magnetic body to the object table separately. The magnet assembly further comprises a spacer device, which holds the first and second magnetic body at a relative distance to each other in at least the direction of the internal magnetic force.

Claim (Index 11):
A lithographic apparatus arranged to transfer a pattern from a patterning device onto a substrate, wherein the lithographic apparatus comprises a stage system, the stage system comprising:\n \u2003an object table adapted to support an object to be positioned, and \u2003a positioning system adapted to position the object table, wherein the positioning system comprises an actuator adapted to position the object table in a direction of actuation, the actuator comprises a magnet assembly and a coil assembly, and the magnet assembly comprises a first magnetic body and a second magnetic body, wherein the first magnetic body and second magnetic body are, in use, subjected to an internal magnetic force, wherein the coil assembly extends at least partly between the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body so as to, in use, generate a force in the direction of actuation, wherein the magnet assembly is provided with a first interface which is adapted to connect the first magnetic body to the object table, and with a second interface which is adapted to connect the second magnetic body to the object table, and wherein the magnet assembly further comprises a spacer device, which is adapted to hold the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body at a relative distance to each other in at least the direction of the internal magnetic force.
