A magnetically levitated arrangement for contactless movement over a surface comprising a magnetizable reaction surface and a magnetically levitated unit arranged to interact with the reaction surface. The levitated unit has at least one pair of rotatable rotary magnet units, each unit rotatable about a rotation axis and having magnetic elements arranged with alternating poles and respectively substantially parallel to the rotation axis in a pole connection direction. Each rotary unit pair is formed to interact, due to rotation of the two rotary units in opposite directions relative to one another and relative to the reaction surface, in such a way with the reaction surface, that forces are generated holding the levitated unit at a distance from the reaction surface, and due to the opposite rotation directions of the rotary units of each pair, a directed drive force moving the levitated unit relative to the reaction surface is generated.
