A linear motor having a more preferable braking function is realized with a low cost. A linear motor has a slider and a stator. A driving winding is wound around the slider. A plurality of permanent magnets forming magnetic poles which invert at a predetermined period are provided on a surface of the slider opposing the stator. Teeth are formed on the stator with a predetermined spacing therebetween. The stator extends to a region outside of an effective movable range, and a braking winding is wound around the teeth in the extended portion. When the slider moves into a region outside of the effective movable range, an induced voltage is generated in the braking winding and a current flows. A thrust in a direction opposite to the movement direction of the slider is generated by the current.
