Abstract: We explicitly classify all $S^1$-invariant free boundary minimal annuli and M"obius bands in $mathbb{B}^n$. This classification is obtained from an analysis of the spectrum of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for $S^1$-invariant metrics on the annulus and M"obius band. First, we determine the supremum of the $k$-th normalized Steklov eigenvalue among all $S^1$-invariant metrics on the M"obius band for each $kgeq1$, and show that it is achieved by the induced metric from a free boundary minimal embedding of the M"obius band into $mathbb{B}^4$ by $k$-th Steklov eigenfunctions. We then show that the critical metrics of the normalized Steklov eigenvalues on the space of $S^1$-invariant metrics on the annulus and M"obius band are the induced metrics on explicit free boundary minimal annuli and M"obius bands in $mathbb{B}^3$ and $mathbb{B}^4$, including some new families of free boundary minimal annuli and M"obius bands in $mathbb{B}^4$. Finally, we prove that these are the only $S^1$-invariant free boundary minimal annuli and M"obius bands in $mathbb{B}^n$.
