The invention discloses a double-side staggered-tooth tau / 2 low-thrust-ripple permanent magnet synchronous linear motor. A first primary assembly and a second primary assembly are both composed of anarmature winding and a primary iron core, each primary iron core is of a tooth groove structure, and the armature windings are wound on teeth; the first primary assembly and the second primary assembly are located on the two sides of a secondary assembly and form air gaps with the secondary assembly respectively; the secondary assembly comprises a yoke plate and a plurality of permanent magnets, each pair of poles comprises four permanent magnets, the first permanent magnet and the second permanent magnet of each pair of poles are located on the same side of the yoke plate, the third permanentmagnet and the fourth permanent magnet of each pair of poles are located on the same side of the yoke plate, the positions of the first permanent magnets and the third permanent magnets are opposite,the positions of the second permanent magnets and the fourth permanent magnets are opposite, the magnetizing directions of the first permanent magnets and the third permanent magnets are the same, the magnetizing directions of the second permanent magnets and the fourth permanent magnets are the same, and the magnetizing directions of the first permanent magnets and the second permanent magnets are opposite; the displacement of the first primary assembly and the second primary assembly in the transverse direction is S which is equal to tau / 2, and tau is the polar distance of the motor. By means of the structure, the thrust ripple of the motor can be reduced, and meanwhile unilateral magnetic tension and fluctuation of the unilateral magnetic tension are reduced.
