Abstract: A brushless linear servomotor utilizes a first member provided with magnetic teeth having a large number of teeth-salients and slots arranged lengthwise of the first member at regular pitches and a second member which is moveable along the first member and has at least one magnetic core with magnetic teeth groups engraved thereon at surfaces opposite to the first member, and having a coil wound around each of the magnetic cores and further having a guide arranged to keep a constant gap between the first and second members. A number of non-contact detectors are connected to the second member so as to detect the salients and slots of the magnetic teeth of the first member. An electronic commutator and an electronic scale circuit are both connected to the non-contact detectors.

Abstract: A linear motor of which is mover and its stator have magnetic teeth and is arranged such that the mover can move linearly on the stator while maintaining a constant gap with respect to the stator. The motor has a permanent magnet which is long in the longitudinal direction of the stator and two cores which are stacked perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the stator with said permanent magnet between them. A plurality of coils, each of which is wound over the two cores and the permanent magnet and has a magnetization axis which is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the stator. Each of the two cores has n groups (wherein n is an integer) of magnetic teeth facing the stator and each of the n group of magnetic teeth is arranged such that the pitch of a tooth is constant and is the same as that of the magnetic teeth of the stator but the phases of the magnetic teeth of each group are different from each other.
