The present invention provides a linear motor assembly that uses keying technique to provide a uniform mechanical interface for linear motor coils to the mount or mounting bracket. This permits a molded coil assembly to be built as a subassembly, so that later insertion into brackets of varying configurations is possible. The keying technique locks the coil to the mount or mounting bracket, and accommodates many different bracket configurations without modification to the coil assembly. The coil is keyed to the bracket and may be attached with an adhesive such as an epoxy bond or thermal grease to improve the thermal dissipation from the motor to the mounting surface. This subassembly can be pre-manufactured and transformed to an application-specific assembly with relative ease in a short period of time. Bracket or mounting options may include various cooling features such as water or air-cooling. The subassembly can also be integrated directly to a linear system comprised, for example, of bearings or encoders. This eliminates the need for a separate mounting bracket, and improves heat dissipation.
