Abstract: A linear motor comprising a primary element provided with at least one primary tooth around which a respective winding is arranged that is adapted to conduct a variable electric current, comprising a toothed secondary element that faces the primary teeth, the toothed secondary element comprising a plurality of secondary teeth made of ferromagnetic material that protrude toward the primary teeth so as to define an air gap of the motor, each primary tooth comprising a pair of magnets at the end of the primary tooth that is directed toward the air gap of the motor. The magnets are mounted so as to direct mutually opposite polarities toward the air gap.
