A method for forming a magnetic core for the magnetic circuit of a linear-motor compressor suitable for use in a refrigerant system. The compressor includes a conical armature which reciprocates in a complementary air-gap under the influence of an electromagnetic circuit and a pair of linear complementary return springs connected to the armature between the compressor piston and outboard bearing. The electromagnetic circuit includes a pair of abutting convoluted loops of spirally wound magnetic strip material with a conical air-gap fabricated in the area of abutment. The magnetic core is formed by forming a pair of stacks of magnetic strips having diverse lengths, bending each stack to form a generally C-shaped core section having a generally semi-circular air-gap space defined by the ends of the strips, fastening the C-shaped stacks in opposed abutment to form a generally cylindrical air-gap, and then machining the air-gap into the desired conical shape.
