Patent ID: 8733541

Claim:
A transport device, comprising: a revolving transport section having a linear region ( 2 a ) and a curve region ( 2 b ), an electromagnetic drive having a plurality of stationary coil elements ( 4 ) and a plurality of permanent magnets ( 5 ), wherein the stationary coil elements ( 4 ) are arranged on the transport section ( 2 ), and at least one mover ( 6 ), which is movably arranged on the revolving transport section ( 2 ) and can be moved by way of electromagnetic forces, wherein the permanent magnets ( 5 ) are arranged on the mover ( 6 ), wherein a first row ( 51 ) of permanent magnets ( 5 ) and a second row ( 52 ) of permanent magnets ( 5 ) are arranged on the mover ( 6 ), wherein the first row ( 51 ) and the second row ( 52 ) of the permanent magnets are successively arranged in a running direction (A) of the mover ( 6 ), wherein the revolving transport section ( 2 ) has first coil regions ( 10 ), which are exclusively operatively connected to the first row ( 51 ) of permanent magnets ( 5 ) on the mover ( 6 ), and second coil regions ( 8 ), which are exclusively operatively connected to the second row ( 52 ) of permanent magnets ( 5 ) on the mover ( 6 ) wherein the first row ( 51 ) of permanent magnets ( 5 ) of the mover is arranged so as to be differently aligned with respect to the second row ( 52 ) of permanent magnets of said mover, and characterized in that the permanent magnets ( 5 ) of the second row ( 52 ) are arranged perpendicularly to the running direction (A) of the mover and at least one permanent magnet of the first row ( 51 ) is arranged at an angle, which does not equal 90°, to said running direction (A) of said mover.
