Abstract

A linear motor of moving-coil type is disclosed, in which a multi-phase moving coil includes a plurality of flat coil units each not wider than the longitudinal length of a permanent magnet making up a stationary part divided by the number of coil phases, the flat coil units being arranged successively in the same plane with central parts not adjacently overlaid one on the other. The central parts of the moving flat coil units have a thickness equivalent to a single phase in spite of the multiple phases of the moving coil. Thus a great electromagnetic force is generated, and at the same time a high propulsive force is obtained with the magnetic flux density not reduced in the gap accomodating one phase of coils alone.
