ABSTRACT:
A lithographic apparatus includes a positioning system including a first and second electromagnetic actuator. Each actuator includes two mutually co-operating electromagnetical elements which are movable with respect to one another due to force acting on the elements of the respective actuator. At least one of the actuators includes a shield configured to shield the actuator from a field generated by the other actuator. In this manner, a disturbance force due to the field is prevented to act on the shielded actuator. The invention also includes a positioning system including such actuators.
