Provided are: a linear motor that has increased compactness and that can effectively use magnetic flux; and an apparatus provided with the linear motor. The linear motor has a top mobile element and a bottom mobile element provided below the top mobile element, and an armature has: a top first set of magnetic pole teeth comprising two magnetic pole teeth opposing each other in the vertical direction across a space through which the top mobile element can move in a reciprocating manner; and a bottom first set of magnetic pole teeth comprising two magnetic pole teeth opposing each other in the vertical direction across a space through which the bottom mobile element can move in a reciprocating manner. The linear motor is characterized by the armature being able to be split into an inner component, which has the bottom magnetic pole tooth of the top first set of magnetic pole teeth and the top magnetic pole tooth of the bottom first set of magnetic pole teeth, and a component having approximately the same shape as that of the inner component or outer component and having the bottom magnetic pole tooth of the bottom first set of magnetic pole teeth. |
