LINEAR MOTOR AND PART DISPLACING DEVICE

摘要

The present invention relates to a linear motor provided with a magnetic body and an armature and adapted to produce a force causing the magnetic body and the armature to be relatively displaced in a given moving direction by interaction of magnetic fluxes generated between the magnetic body and the armature during an operation of supplying electric power to the armature. The linear motor is provided with: a base plate adapted to set the moving direction on a base surface thereof; a movable section attached to the base plate in a relatively movable manner reciprocating along the moving direction with respect to the base plate; a mover provided on and along a lateral surface of the movable section on a one edge side in a widthwise direction of the base surface perpendicular to the moving direction, and formed as one of the magnetic body and the armature; and a stator provided on the base surface of the base plate to be disposed opposed to the mover from the one edge side toward the other edge side in the widthwise direction, and formed as other one of the magnetic body and the armature to extend along the moving direction.
