Development of linear technology has increased recently for industrial purposes. In certain application especially in automation field, linear motor is more preferred compared to the conventional rotary motor. It is due to the advantages that linear motor can offer such as speed, position control, cost effective, no maintaining and many more. So, for student, linear machine can be considered as important as rotary machine and research, study and experiment should be encouraged by the university. From this project of Characterization of Linear Motor, the author as assigned to set up and configure the hardware and software of linear motor for testing and experimenting facility in university. The hardware components mainly are linear motor and motor driver from Copley Controls. The software used for to configure the motor driver for commutation modes is called CME 2 software from Copley Controls. After the installation of all components is completed, the character of the motor in different profiles is analyzed from the data obtain from the scope tools of CME 2 software.
