  • Patent number: 11254521
    Abstract: Mover for a transport apparatus in the beverage processing industry, the packaging industry, or the warehouse industry, where the mover can form a linear drive together with a guide rail and a long stator of the transport apparatus, and the mover comprises rolling mechanisms for moving along the guide rail, where the mover comprises a base body and one secondary part or two secondary parts, which, in the case of two secondary parts, are arranged on oppositely disposed sides of the base body and are suitable to interact with an electromagnetic field generated by the transport apparatus to drive the mover along the guide rail characterized in that the mover comprises a device for the continuously variable adjustment of the relative position of a secondary part relative to the base body.

  • Patent number: 10894675
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides rotors for long-stator linear motor systems, having at least two rollers for mounting the rotors on parallel guide rails of the long-stator linear motor system, wherein the rotors comprise at least one rotatable bolster, on which at least one roller, in particular at least one pair of rollers, of the at least two rollers is rotatably mounted, and/or at least one roller with a steering rotational axis with integrated castor, wherein the roller is mounted on a roller axle by means of a bolt, via an asymmetric and/or sloping bore, and further comprises a pendulum ring which is mounted on the bolt and has an external ball or slide bearing.

  • Patent number: 9617089
    Abstract: A transport system with a transport track with at least one passive track switch, which includes a main track and first and second diverging side tracks of the transport track, and at least one transport element with a response element with at least one permanent magnet and/or non-switching electromagnet. The transport track has fixed first and second guide rails in the area of the passive track switch as well as linear motor strings that are arranged in parallel to the first and second guide rail. The response element of the transport element is engaged within a gap between the first and the second linear motor string.
