Abstract

A linear motor including magnetic-pole teeth which pinch and hold permanent magnets deployed in a displacer, a plurality of iron cores used for continuously connecting the magnetic-pole teeth, windings wound around the plurality of iron cores in batch, and the displacer in which positive and negative magnetic poles of the permanent magnets are arranged alternately. A plurality of magnetic poles including the magnetic-pole teeth and the iron cores are deployed along a longitudinal direction of the displacer. The windings which are common to the plurality of magnetic poles are deployed on the iron cores. The leakage magnetic flux between the adjacent magnetic poles is reduced by making polarities of the plurality of deployed magnetic poles one and the same polarity.

Claims (45)
