A linear motor including permanent magnets fixed on an elongate yoke such that polarities of the permanent magnets alternately change, and an armature having cores and coils wound on the respective cores, wherein each row of the permanent magnets and the armature are moved relative to each other along a straight line by application of an electric current to the coils, each core extending in a first direction perpendicular to the permanent magnet row, the cores being arranged in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and disposed on the cores such that the coils on the cores adjacent to each other are arranged in a zigzag pattern and spaced apart from each other in the first direction, with a gap left therebetween, wherein the armature includes a heat pipe having opposite end portions one of which is inserted in the gap and the other of which extends outwardly of the gap, and fins fixed to the other end portion of the heat pipe.
