Abstract
An electrodynamic direct linear drive (1) has a coil system (2) with a plurality of coaxially sequentially following drive coils (3). In the interior or on the external periphery of the coil system (2) a magnet system (6) is arranged, which is designed in the form of a component of an output part (8) able to be moved in relation to the coil system (2). On the opposite side of the magnet system (6) a return circuit means (15) is arranged internally or externally of the coil system (2). In order to achieve a high energy density axially adjacent drive coils (3) contact each other directly. Furthermore a method for the production of the coil system (2) is provided.
