Systems and methods for securing coils of magnet wire to a support core in a linear motor that is used, for example, in an ESP. A hollow member such as a cylindrical metal tube is provided as a support core which is adapted to receive a mover of the linear motor. Coils of magnet wire are positioned at the exterior of the support core (e.g., wound around the core). An outer layer of shrink-wrap material is placed around the support core and coils and is heated, causing it to shrink and conform to the coils and the support core. The shrink-wrap material provides pressure against the coils which holds them securely against the support core. This assembly is then positioned within a stator housing and secured to form the stator for the linear motor.

1. A method for securing coils of magnet wire to a support core in a linear motor for use in a wellbore, the method comprising: during assembly of the linear motor: providing a support core, wherein the support core is a hollow member adapted to receive a mover of the linear motor within an interior
1. A method for securing coils of magnet wire to a support core in a linear motor for use in a wellbore, the method comprising: during assembly of the linear motor: providing a support core, wherein the support core is a hollow member adapted to receive a mover of the linear motor within an interior of the support core;positioning one or more coils of magnet wire at an exterior of the support core;positioning an outer layer of shrink-wrap material around the support core and the one or more coils of magnet wire; andheating the outer layer of shrink-wrap material and thereby causing the outer layer of shrink-wrap material to shrink and secure the one or more coils of magnet wire on the support core, and to provide compression against the one or more coils of magnet wire which holds the one or more coils of magnet wire securely against the support core. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising, prior to positioning the one or more coils of magnet wire at the exterior of the support core, positioning an inner layer of material at the exterior of the support core and then positioning the one or more coils of magnet wire against the layer of non-slip material, wherein the inner layer of material inhibits axial movement of the one or more coils of magnet wire with respect to the support core and provides electrical insulation between the one or more coils of magnet wire and the support core. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein positioning the inner layer of material at the exterior of the support core comprises positioning an inner layer of shrink-wrap material around the support core and heating the inner layer of shrink-wrap material, thereby causing the inner layer of shrink-wrap material to shrink and thereby be secured to the support core. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein positioning the one or more coils of magnet wire at the exterior of the support core comprises winding the one or more coils of magnet wire around the support core. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein positioning the one or more coils of magnet wire at the exterior of the support core comprises pre-forming the one or more coils of magnet wire prior to installing the one or more coils of magnet wire on the support core. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising positioning the support core with the one or more coils of magnet wire mounted thereon in a stator housing. 7. A system comprising: an electric submersible pump (ESP);an electric drive; anda power cable coupled between the electric drive and the ESP, wherein the power cable carries power from the electric drive to the ESP;wherein the ESP has a linear motor;wherein a stator of the linear motor includes a support core, wherein the support core is a hollow member adapted to receive a mover of the linear motor within an interior of the support core,one or more coils of magnet wire positioned at an exterior of the support core,an outer layer of shrink-wrap material positioned around the support core and the one or more coils of magnet wire, wherein the outer layer of shrink-wrap material is secured to the support core and the one or more coils of magnet wire, and wherein the outer layer of shrink-wrap material is compressed against the one or more coils of magnet wire and thereby holds the one or more coils of magnet wire securely against the support core. 8. The system of claim 7, wherein the stator further comprises a layer of non-slip material positioned between the support core and the one or more coils of magnet wire, wherein the non-slip material inhibits movement of the one or more coils of magnet wire with respect to the support core. 9. The system of claim 8, wherein the layer of non-slip material comprises an inner layer of shrink-wrap material that is secured to the support core. 10. The system of claim 7, wherein each of the one or more coils of magnet wire is wound around the support core. 11. The system of claim 7, wherein the one or more coils of magnet wire are encapsulant-free. 12. A stator for a linear motor of an electric submersible pump (ESP), wherein the stator comprises: a support core, wherein the support core is a hollow member adapted to receive a mover of the linear motor within an interior of the support core;one or more coils of magnet wire positioned at an exterior of the support core; andan outer layer of shrink-wrap material positioned around the support core and the one or more coils of magnet wire, wherein the outer layer of shrink-wrap material is secured to the support core and the one or more coils of magnet wire, and wherein the outer layer of shrink-wrap material is compressed against the one or more coils of magnet wire and thereby holds the one or more coils of magnet wire securely against the support core. 13. The stator of claim 12, further comprising a layer of non-slip material positioned between the support core and the one or more coils of magnet wire, wherein the non-slip material inhibits movement of the one or more coils of magnet wire with respect to the support core. 14. The stator of claim 13, wherein the layer of non-slip material comprises an inner layer of shrink-wrap material that is secured to the support core. 15. The stator of claim 12, wherein each of the one or more coils of magnet wire is wound around the support core. 16. The stator of claim 12, wherein the one or more coils of magnet wire are encapsulant-free.
