Outline of Final Research Achievements	In this research project, the design of tubular linear motor with internal magnetic gear was completed. The mathematical theory for generation of thrust force in the proposed motor was established. From the electromagnetic analysis by simulator, the characteristics of the proposed motor was investigated. The first prototype was also developed. The feasibility was confirmed from the basic experiment on the prototype.
