Abstract
In a cryogenic split Stirling refrigerator, the compressor is driven by linear drive motors. Each linear drive motor has an armature hermetically sealed by a housing 20. Surrounding the housing is a stator formed from two bodies each housing a drive coil 48 and 49. Each body consists of two components 52-55 formed from involute laminations which have been aligned after the coil has been inserted. Separating the bodies is a magnet 56.
