Zusammenfassung:An electromagnetic motor is described, the electromagnetic motor comprising: a magnet assembly configured to generate a two-dimensional alternating magnetic field having a pitch Pm1 in a first direction and a pitch Pm2 in a second direction; a coil assembly configured to co-operate with the magnet assembly to generate a first force in the first direction and a second force in the second direction, wherein the coil assembly comprises a first coil set comprising a plurality of first coils for generating the first force and a second coil set comprising a plurality of second coils for generating the second force, wherein a ratio R1 of a coil pitch Pc1 in the first coil set in the first direction over Pm1 is different from a ratio R2 of a coil pitch Pc2 in the second coil set in the second direction over Pm2.
