Acoustic levitation in air has applications in contactless handling and processing. Here a first-order Bessel-function-shaped acoustic field, generated using an 8-element circular array operating at 40 kHz, traps millimeter-sized objects against gravity. The device can manipulate objects in a vertical plane over a few millimeters with an accuracy of +/- 0.09 mm.
