The direct linear drive motor mode of operation is base on the magnetism principle. Position two permanent magnets opposite of each other and they will automatically enforce power on each other. Dependent on polarity they will either attract or reject each other: common poles attract and opposite poles reject.

At linear drives the motor contains multiple spools and moves over a very precise construction. Permanent magnets have been positioned over almost the full length of this precision Construction. The length determines the linear motor stroke. The motor spools function as magnets once connected to electricity.

Each change in currant phase of each spool sets the motor in motion. The speed of phase changes determines the motor speed. The currant level drives the power of the motor. Changing the direction of the magnetic field will drive the motion direction of the motor.
