Abstract
A plurality of permanent magnets is disposed in a pair of yoke sections so that magnetic poles adjacent to each other and facing each other have opposite polarities. An armature coil is provided in a magnetic gap through which coil a electric current is made to flow to cause its relative movement with respect to the permanent magnets. A linear scale is provided on the stator so as to be located on the thrust center line or in the vicinity thereof, and a read head is provided on the movable member so as to face the linear scale.
