Abstract

An electrical machine with at least a machine unit. This machine unit includes a stator, which includes a plurality of magnetic flux conductors, an electric conductor forming a winding extending in a substantially closed winding path through each magnetic flux conductor, and a least one first movable element, which includes a number of permanent magnet elements and which is movable in a reciprocating movement in relation to the stator along a first movement path in a space having a finite length and formed by at least some of the magnetic flux conductors. The winding path includes a first current carrying portion, which extends substantially in parallel with the first movement path. Each magnetic flux conductor is arranged to form, together with one of the permanent magnetic elements, a closed magnetic flux circuit extending around the current carrying portion.
