Abstract: A linear actuator motor design including a rotor assembly that has an insert molded into a non-magnetic sleeve through a plurality of openings, which is kept from rotating within the non-magnetic sleeve by at least one opening arranged along the length of the non-magnetic sleeve which corresponds to at least one tab formed by the molded material of the insert and a stator assembly having a plurality of symmetrical and interchangeable magnetic pole plates. Each of the plurality of magnetic pole plates comprises a substantially planar plate portion with a central opening therein and a plurality of prongs extending from the central opening and substantially perpendicular to the plate portion. The prongs of the plurality of magnetic pole plates create an opening that is dimensioned to receive the rotor assembly therein. A non-conductive material is the molded over the plurality of magnetic pole plates.
