The invention discloses an embedded type mixing magnetic material fault-tolerant cylindrical linear motor which comprises primary bodies and secondary bodies. The length of each primary body is smaller than that of each secondary body. An air gap is reserved between each primary body and the corresponding secondary body. Each primary body comprises armature teeth, fault-tolerant teeth and a coil winding. The 2*m armature teeth and the 2*m fault-tolerant teeth are uniformly distributed on each primary body, wherein m is the phase number of the motor and is larger than or equal to three; the armature teeth and the fault-tolerant teeth are arranged at intervals in a staggered mode. Only one set of disc-shaped coil windings are placed into an armature tooth groove of each primary body. No windings are arranged on the fault-tolerant teeth. The secondary bodies of the motor are made of mixing magnetic materials, a part of ferrite is used for replacing a part of rare earth permanent magnets to form four different mixing magnetic material structures, on one hand, the quantity of the adopted rare earth permanent magnets is greatly reduced, and the cost of the motor is reduced; on the other hand, as the magnetic energy product of the permanent magnets is reduced, the eddy-current loss of the motor is reduced greatly, and efficiency of the motor is improved.
