Electromagent usage

I am considering using a stationary electromagnet (of course, insulated and under circuit breakers etc.).

All it will be doing is moving another magnet, in a very controlled way (the other magnets motion will be restricted).

The rules state that no motors, servos, or electronic solenoid actuators other than those in the KoP may be used.

To me, both motors and servos spin, so what I am considering isn't either of those. And when I looked up what an electronic solenoid actuator was, It also didn't fit what I was doing. (They involve springs and valves and such).

Does anyone know a reason this application wouldn't be legal? Too bad the Q&A forums aren't up yet

P.S. It would also be under a Victor speed controller (although it would be used as a voltage controller).
