Abstract
A mover for a linear motor system includes a magnet subassembly. The mover includes a magnetic structure disposed on at least one side of the magnet subassembly and creating with the magnetic subassembly a resultant magnetic field. The magnetic structure being centered on a detected center of the resultant magnetic field. The mover includes a body structure mounted on or with reference to the magnetic structure to position a physical center of the body structure at approximately the detected center of the resultant magnetic field.

A method for making a mover for a linear magnet system, the method comprising:
- assembling a magnet subassembly;
- disposing a magnetic structure on at least one side of the magnet subassembly to create a resultant magnetic field with the magnet subassembly;
- aligning a reference feature of the magnetic structure at a desired location with respect to a detected center of a magnetic field of the magnet subassembly or the resultant magnetic field;
- and
- securing the magnetic structure to the magnet subassembly;
- wherein the magnetic structure comprises a top plate and two lateral plates.
