A linear pulse motor including: a stator; a movable member, the stator and the movable member each having a face to oppose to each other; a supporting mechanism for supporting the movable member, the supporting mechanism having a plurality of rolling members rotatably mounted thereon, said rolling members being placed between the stator and the movable member to be in rolling contact with the stator and the movable member so that a gap is formed between said opposing faces of the stator and the movable member to thereby enable the movable member to move parallel to the opposing face of the stator along a line of travel thereof, the supporting mechanism being movable on the stator along said line of travel; and a positive motion transferring mechanism for positively transferring movement of the movable member to the supporting mechanism so that the supporting mechanism is in displacement a half of the movable member, whereby the movable member is moved by generating a magnetic flux between said gap when the linear pulse motor is energized.
