ABSTRACT:
An electromagnetic assembly includes a gimbal pivotally mounting an electromagnetic device to a housing, a magnetic body secured to the electromagnetic device producing a magnetic field coaxial with a first orthogonal axis; coils secured to the housing so as to be magnetically coupled to the magnetic body and oriented such that current through them produces a magnetic field along second and third orthogonal axes, respectively; and a current source for applying electrical current to the coils such that the magnetic fields produced thereby, interacting with the magnetic field produced by the magnetic body, produce a torque controlling the position of the electromagnetic device with respect to the second and third orthogonal axes.
