In this thesis, a prototype of a magnetically levitated guiding system is designed and implemented. It is a repulsive maglev system with a passive carrier and four active guiding tracks. The levitation forces are exerted by hybrid magnets, whereas the stabilizing forces are exerted by electro-magnets. An adaptive controller is proposed for the stabilization of the levitation system with unknown parameters. From the experimental results, the feasibility of the system has been demonstrated successfully. Its performance shows that the imperfections of manufacturing and alignmentare eliminated significantly. In addition, the low consumption of energy and the high capacity of the load are the merits which are hardly obtained from the current researches to the knowledge of the author.
