An air-floating guide rail device includes a guide rail unit, a slider unit, and a linear motor unit. The guide rail unit includes a guide rail body and two air-floating block sets made of a material different from that of the guide rail body and each including top and side air-floating blocks. The slider unit includes a main sliding seat and two lateral sliding seats connected integrally to the main sliding seat and each having first and second guiding surfaces transverse to each other and disposed respectively adjacent to corresponding top and side air-floating blocks, and first and second air guiding passages connecting the first and second guiding surfaces to the external environment. The linear motor unit includes a stator and a mover mounted fixedly to the main sliding seat and movable relative to the stator for driving linear movement of the slider unit relative to the guide rail unit.

A coil assembly includes coil units connected to a coil base. Each coil unit includes top, intermediate and bottom coil modules, each of which has spaced-apart first and second interaction sides, and two non-interaction sides connected to the first and second interaction sides to form an accommodating space. The first interaction sides of the intermediate and bottom coil modules are juxtaposed with each other in the accommodating space of the top coil module. The second interaction sides of the top and intermediate coil modules are juxtaposed with each other in the accommodating space of the bottom coil module. An ironless motor includes a magnetic rail assembly and the aforesaid coil assembly.
