A moving-coil linear motor free of cogging. The motor has a rotor (3) including separated block cores (31, 32 and 33), each of which has a length equivalent to eight times the magnet pitch (Pm) and includes nine teeth (4) along the length. The block cores are arranged in line and separated by gaps equivalent to 2/3 of the magnet pitch. The first block (31) is divided into three groups of teeth (4) with armature coils (5) to form U-, V- and W-phases. Similarly, the second block (32) is grouped to form V-, W- and U-phases, and the third block (33) is grouped to form W-, U- and V-phases. The armature coils (5) are formed to differ in phase by 120 degrees from one another in order to zero the sum of the cogging caused by the blocks. <IMAGE> |
