Patent ID: 8203238

Claim:
A linear motor for a linear compressor, comprising: a plural of permanent magnets positioned in a circumference direction at a predetermined interval; an inner stator positioned inside circumference of the plurality of permanent magnets with a predetermined gap, to be formed by stacking a plurality of first core blocks in a circumference direction to be insulated from each other; and an outer stator positioned outside circumference of the plurality of permanent magnets with a predetermined gap, to be formed by arranging a plurality of second core blocks in a circumference direction at predetermined intervals, and winding a coil around the second core blocks of the outer stator, wherein the coil is wound around inner and outer circumferences of each second core block along a longitudinal direction of the permanent magnet so that the coil winding may overlap a longitudinal center of the plurality of permanent magnets; wherein the plurality of permanent magnets are reciprocated linearly between the inner stator and the outer stator due to a mutual electromagnetic force with the inner stator and the outer stator.
