            Abstract : 
This paper describes the levitation and guidance control of a passive magnetic levitation tray system. In this system, a moving tray is completely contactless and has no electric equipments. Lifting, guiding and propelling forces are generated by external electromagnets. Especially, we focused on the levitation and guidance control in this paper. We designed the controllers and evaluated their performances through experiments.
