Abstract:
A linear motor is equipped with a coil body (62), and a yoke (71) that supports a magnetism generating body (72) and that moves relative to the coil body (62). The yoke (71) has a first portion (73) that is formed from a magnetic material and disposed based on the saturation state of the magnetic field, which is generated by the magnetism generating body (72), in the yoke (71).
