(1) To lengthen the movable stroke,
This is possible by arranging many coils in the X-axis direction. However, since the linear motor coil is fixed only at both ends in the longitudinal direction, if the length in the X-axis direction becomes long, X
When the thickness in the axial direction is not largely changed, the rigidity of the linear motor decreases, the string vibration in the Z-axis direction or the Y-axis direction becomes large, and the vibration frequency becomes low. Therefore, when such a motor is incorporated into the apparatus, the vibration of the motor itself is transmitted to the apparatus side and the apparatus itself is vibrated. As a result, it becomes impossible to perform precise positioning using a linear motor, and it is very disadvantageous in terms of space and weight in terms of increasing the thickness.

(2) When a large amount of current is supplied to increase the driving force of the linear motor, the amount of heat generated from the coil increases in proportion to the square of the current, and the surface area of the cooling pipe and the flow rate of the refrigerant are small. The heat generated from the coil cannot be recovered sufficiently. Therefore, since the temperature rises, the performance of the magnet deteriorates, and the precision positioning cannot be performed due to thermal deformation of the device equipped with the linear motor, air fluctuations, and the like.
