Abstract
An embodiment of a linear motor assembly includes an armature extending linearly along an axis, the armature having a plurality of windings. The linear motor assembly also includes a magnetic assembly including a plurality of magnets arrayed in a loop configuration, a linear section of the plurality of magnets extending linearly through the plurality of windings in a direction parallel to the axis, each magnet of the linear section being oriented in the direction and configured to move in the direction due to interaction between the plurality of windings and a magnetic field generated by the magnetic assembly.
