linear motor

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

linear motor

Type of electric motor, an induction motor in which the fixed stator and moving armature are straight and parallel to each other (rather than being circular and one inside the other as in an ordinary induction motor). Linear motors are used, for example, to power sliding doors. There is a magnetic force between the stator and armature; this force has been used to support a vehicle, as in the experimental maglev linear motor train.
