A linear motor system comprising a stator having a plurality of stator elements which each have a magnetic coil and a magnetic core, wherein the magnetic coil generates a transverse magnetic flux in the respective stator element; at least one mover which has at least one magnetic element which interacts with the respective magnetic coil of the stator elements, wherein the mover is moved by means of activation of at least one stator element in a direction of movement relative to the stator elements, wherein at least one selected stator element is configured to change from a first state into a second state with respect to the magnetic flux, while the other stator elements remain in the first state with respect to the magnetic flux, characterized in that the at least one selected stator element is configured to change between the first state and the second state with respect to the magnetic flux in that the at least one selected stator element is a magnetically insulatable stator element, with permanent magnets being arranged between the magnetically insulatable stator element and respective stator elements adjacent at both sides to this magnetically insulatable stator element along the stator in order, in the second state, to magnetically insulate the magnetically insulatable stator element with respect to the respective stator elements adjacent at both sides to this magnetically insulatable stator element along the stator and to form a holding zone for the mover along the stator due to the holding force exerted on the mover by the respective stator elements adjacent at both sides to this magnetically insulatable stator element along the stator, with the holding zone for the mover being able to be deactivated by means of a bridging device in order to change into the first state by the cancelation of the magnetic insulation of the magnetically insulatable stator element with respect to the respective stator elements adjacent at both sides to this magnetically insulatable stator element along the stator. a stator having a plurality of stator elements which each have a magnetic coil and a magnetic core, wherein the magnetic coil generates a transverse magnetic flux in the respective stator element; at least one mover which has at least one magnetic element which interacts with the respective magnetic coil of the stator elements, wherein the mover is moved by means of activation of at least one stator element in a direction of movement relative to the stator elements, wherein at least one selected stator element is configured to change from a first state into a second state with respect to the magnetic flux, while the other stator elements remain in the first state with respect to the magnetic flux, characterized in that the at least one selected stator element is configured to change between the first state and the second state with respect to the magnetic flux in that the at least one selected stator element is a magnetically insulatable stator element, with permanent magnets being arranged between the magnetically insulatable stator element and respective stator elements adjacent at both sides to this magnetically insulatable stator element along the stator in order, in the second state, to magnetically insulate the magnetically insulatable stator element with respect to the respective stator elements adjacent at both sides to this magnetically insulatable stator element along the stator and to form a holding zone for the mover along the stator due to the holding force exerted on the mover by the respective stator elements adjacent at both sides to this magnetically insulatable stator element along the stator, with the holding zone for the mover being able to be deactivated by means of a bridging device in order to change into the first state by the cancelation of the magnetic insulation of the magnetically insulatable stator element with respect to the respective stator elements adjacent at both sides to this magnetically insulatable stator element along the stator.
