A linear motor with high heat recovery efficiency that inhibits the rise in surface temperature is offered. The linear motor is disposed in a surrounding member (142) and facing a flow passage (142a) of a liquid for regulating temperature, and is provided with a coil unit (141) having at least a part thereof in contact with the liquid. The coil unit (141) is provided with a coil body (144), a mold layer (143) that covers the coil body and holds it in specific form, and a liquid protection layer (150) that covers the mold layer (143) and has liquid protection properties.
