Abstract

A distributed-arrangement linear motor in which stators are arranged in a distributed manner and a method of controlling the distributed-arrangement linear motor are provided. The linear motor 1 is a linear motor in which a stator and a movable member are relatively movable, wherein the stator and the movable member respectively have periodic structures in which plural kinds of poles of the stator and the movable member (12a, 12b, 12c) (22a, 22b, 22c) which magnetically act each other and arranged periodically subsequently in an order according to the arrangement in a direction of the relative motion therebetween; a plurality of stators are arranged in a distributed manner in the direction of the relative motion; a distance D1, D2 between adjacent stators is not more than a length Lmv of the movable member; the pole of the stator is formed of a coil 11; and a current control unit that controls current to be supplied to the coil based on the distance between the stators is provided.
