A cylindrical linear motor includes a stator and a movable element disposed via a clearance with respect to the stator and movable rectilinearly with respect to the stator. The movable element has a plurality of permanent magnets fixed to a movable element core. The stator salient polesare pitched at &#x3c4;s and the permanent magnetsare pitched at &#x3c4;p so that a relationship of 3/4&#x3c;&#x3c4;p/&#x3c4;s&#x3c;3/2 is established.

A robot control apparatus does not require an expert to perform programming, prepare teaching data or reprogram the motions of a work robot. The controller for the robot accepts the teaching point instructed by a beginner operator, and computes the start and end points in a track from the input teaching points. The controller also computes target start and end points in each of the passes in the track based on the current track points and the overspray width input by the operator and automatically allows for the overspray width. The control apparatus therefore facilitates operation of painting tasks which conventionally required a labor-intensive effort in reprogramming by an expert operator.
