The embodiments describe linear motor configurations having a polygonal shaped motor coil. The motor coil is e.g. hexagonal, diamond shaped, or double diamond shaped. Coil units are formed in a closed electrically conductive band surrounding a void. Coil units are formed e.g. from flex circuit material or by winding in a racetrack or folded tip fashion. Coil units are arranged in an overlapped shingle like manner to form a motor coil with substantially uniform thickness and high conductor density, providing high efficiency. Due to its substantially uniform thickness, the motor coil has a substantially flat cross section that allows the motor coil to be easily installed and removed from its associated linear magnetic track. The embodiments enable both moving coil and moving magnet linear motor configurations.
