A method of providing axially alternating N and S poles in a portion of an axially extending, cylindrical, smooth shaft for a linear stepper motor and a method of manufacturing a magnetizing fixture are provided. A magnetizing fixture is provided including a hollow cylindrical mandrel formed from a non-magnetic material, a single conductive wire serially disposed in parallel, circumferential channels defined in an outer surface of the mandrel, and a central bore defined axially and centrally through the mandrel. The portion of the shaft is inserted in the central bore and a direct current is provided through the wire to magnetize alternating N and S poles along the cylindrical shaft. The wire may be placed in the parallel, circumferential channels such that the direction of flow of a direct current in one channel is in the opposite direction of the flow in the adjacent channels.
