  • Mechanical carrier saving in a multicarrier system
    Patent number: 11932499
    Abstract: A linear motor system, which is in particular a transport system and, for example, a multi-carrier system, includes a guide track having a plurality of electromagnets arranged distributed along the guide track; and at least one carrier that is guided by and movable along the guide track and that has a drive magnet for cooperating with the electromagnets to move the carrier. The linear motor system furthermore has at least one coupling element and at least one securing structure that extends along the guide track and that is held by the coupling element. The coupling element couples the securing structure to the carrier.

  • LINEAR MOTOR SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20230115484
    Abstract: A linear motor system, in particular a transport system, for example a multi-carrier system, includes a guide track having a plurality of electromagnets arranged distributed along the guide track. The linear motor system furthermore includes a first and a second carrier that are guided by and movable along the guide track and that each include a drive magnet for cooperating with the electromagnets of the guide track to move the carriers; and a control device for controlling the movement of the carriers relative to the guide track by a corresponding control of the electromagnets. Furthermore, the linear motor system includes at least one energy transmission element that is fastened to the first and/or second carrier and that transmits energy from the first carrier to the second carrier.
