Abstract
A multi-head linear motor with cores according to an embodiment includes a permanent magnet field and an armature. The permanent magnet field includes P pieces of permanent magnets. The armature is arranged so as to face the permanent magnet field through a magnetic air gap and includes M pieces of armature coils. Any one of the armature and the permanent magnet field constitutes a mover, the other constitutes a stator, and the mover is arranged in plurality to be lined up over a single piece of the stator to individually drive the movers relative to the stator. Moreover, the movers each include a large thrust mover and a small thrust mover that have different relationships each determined with a magnetic pole number P of the permanent magnets and a number M of the armature coils relative to the stator.
