The invention relates to a device and a method for testing a force characteristic of a linear 
electric motor, which relate to the technical field of 
motor test, and aims at the main problems existing in various linear 
electric motor test devices at present. A pull 
pressure sensor is used for testing the output force of a linear 
electric motor to be tested, and is also used for testing the force applied to a rotor of the linear electric motor to be tested; a 
ball screw is used for converting gyroscopic motion of a loading 
servo motor into 
linear motion of the rotor of the linear electric motor to be tested, and comprises a nut, a screw rod and a fixed support; the loading 
servo motor is used for driving the screw rod of the 
ball screw to rotate and dragging the nut of the balls screw to do 
linear motion; a base is used for fixing a 
stator of the linear electric motor to be tested and the fixed support of the 
ball screw, so that the rotor of the linear electric motor to be tested driven by the nut of the ball screw and the 
stator of the linear electric motor to be tested fixed on the base are located at a normal working position of the linear electric motor; a guide rail is used for guiding and supporting the rotor of the linear electric motor to be tested to move on the base along the 
motion direction of the rotor of the electric motor; and a displacement sensor is used for measuring the displacement of the rotor of the linear electric motor to be tested.
