Provided is a linear motor motion stage having a passive reaction force compensation function. The linear motor motion stage includes: a base; a magnet track moving on the base; a mover which is moved on a surface of the magnet track by an electromagnetic force generated in a gap with the magnet track; first and second horizontal springs arranged between one side and the other side, respectively, of the magnet track and the base and configured to attenuate a reaction force applied to the base by movement of the mover; and a cross spring arranged between a lower side of the magnet track and the base and configured to attenuate the reaction force. Herein, the linear motor motion stage controls reaction force compensation applied to the linear motor motion stage by controlling the stiffness of the cross spring.

Systems and methods for operating a linear motor (e.g., for an ESP), where the motor's mover moves in a reciprocating motion within a bore of the stator. Hard stops are located at the ends of the bore. The motor has a first set of sensors in the stator positioned proximate to the bore. When the mover moves in the bore, the sensors produce corresponding output signals, except when the mover is in a position near, but not in contact with a hard stop. While the sensors produce output signals, the motor is driven in a first direction toward the hard stop. When the sensors stop producing the output signals, the mover has reached the first position, and the motor is controlled to reverse the direction of the mover.
