This study presents the fundamental principles governing the levitation of material bodies by magnetic fields. It defines the technology of magnetic bearings, especially those based on superconductivity, and demonstrates the key roles that magnetics, mechanics and dynamics play in the complete understanding of magnetic levitation and its bearings. The text features extensive illustrations of MagLev devices and summarizes the recent US research studies carried out in an effort to regain the lead in MagLev technologies.
