    Abstract: A motor includes a position-sensing magnetostrictive element that extends along a stator bore. A slider slides in the stator bore and includes a stack of motor magnets. The stack includes a first stack end that provides a magnetic field pattern that magnetizes a region of the magnetostrictive element. The motor includes shield elements such as a non-magnetic shield tube and a magnetic flux diverter.
