    摘要: A linear motor includes a magnetic assembly and a coil assembly having at least one coil positioned to magnetically engage the magnetic assembly for linear displacement between the magnetic assembly and the coil assembly. The linear motor further includes an encoder strip attached to one of the magnetic assembly and the coil assembly and an encoder reader attached to the other one of the magnetic assembly and the coil assembly to read the encoder strip during the linear displacement between the magnetic assembly and the coil assembly.
