Electrostatic levitation is a non-contact method of levitating an object using electrostatic force. In this technique, a charged object is suspended within a precisely controlled electric field. The electrostatic force exerted on the object counteracts gravity, causing it to levitate. As a non-contact method, it isolates the object from any physical container, preventing contamination and enabling the study of materials in a high-purity environment.
Matsusada Precision offers a wide range of high-voltage power supplies and amplifiers ideal for generating the stable and responsive electric fields required for electrostatic levitation applications.
