The modular linear motor includes at least a pair of like stator modules and at least a pair of like mover modules. A stator module coupler interconnects the like stator module and has an axial length of sufficient dimension to maintain a given three phase stator pole pitch between the interconnected stator modules. A mover module coupler interconnects the like mover modules, and has another axial length of sufficient dimension to maintain a given mover pole pitch between the interconnected mover modules.

[ What is claimed is:] [2.] In a motor construction, a method of constructing a linear motor stator, comprising:using at least two like elongated cylindrically shaped hollow stator modules, each stator module having spaced apart oppositely threaded end segments disposed on diametrically opposite ends thereof;each stator module further having a plurality of spaced apart stator coils extending throughout its entire axial length for defining a given three phase stator pole pitch of a given axial length;interconnecting said at least two like stator modules with an elongated cylindrically shaped hollow stator coupler having an interior threaded wall, said wall having one portion adapted to engage threadably one of the oppositely threaded end segments of a stator module and another portion of said wall being adapted to engage threadably an opposite one of the oppositely threaded end segments of another stator module; andsaid stator coupler having an axial length of sufficient dimension to maintain said given three phase pole pitch between interconnected stator modules.
