Abstract

The present invention provides a linear motor 1 that can prevent a magnet member 2 from falling down when a power supply is turned off. A linear motor 1 includes a magnet member 2 composed of permanent magnets having alternately arranged respective N poles and S poles and a coil member 3 which surrounds a periphery of the magnet member 2 and trough which the magnet member 2 is movable in an axial direction relative to the coil member 3. A magnetic substance 3 is provided in the vicinity of one end of the coil member 3 to allow the magnet member 2 to exert a magnetic attractive force.
