Abstract: Stator element for a linear-electric-drive of a body reciprocally slidable over a limited length in a straight or curved line, such as a door, gate or carriage, provided with a magnet or magetizable counter element, which stator is provided with an elongate holder, a number of rod-like, mutually parallel and adjacent carriers fixed transversely onto the holder and a number of windings each of which is wound in each case around at least one carrier along a side of the holder, which winding is connected onto a controlled voltage source so that accurate speed control of the body for moving can be obtained.
