In a linear motor having at least one pair of permanent magnet assemblies opposing each other via a gap therebetween, each of the permanent magnet assemblies is constituted by a plurality of permanent magnets, and each of the permanent magnets has, in a plane perpendicular to the moving direction of a movable member, a cross section satisfying the relation: Ac>Ae, wherein Ac represents a cross section in a center portion of the permanent magnet and Ae represents a cross section at each end of the permanent magnet, to obtain a substantially sinusoidal magnetic flux density distribution. Preferably, the permanent magnet has on the side facing the gap a flat center surface and inclined flat surfaces positioned on both sides of the center surface.
