Abstract

The present invention relates to a transport system (1) comprising at least one electromagnetic transport device (2) and at least one continuous conveyor (6). The electromagnetic transport device (2) comprises a stator (31, 32, 3i) and at least one shuttle (4, 4i), which is moveable relative to the stator (31, 32, 3i) along a transport path. Drive magnets (51) are arranged on at least one shuttle (4, 4i), which interact electromagnetically with electromagnetic or magnetic elements, in particular drive coils, arranged on the stator (31, 32, 3i) to move the at least one shuttle (4, 4i) in at least one direction (T) of movement along the transport path. The at least one continuous conveyor (6) comprises conveying means (7) to move the at least one shuttle (4, 4i) in a conveying direction (M) along the transport path. To reliably and safely prevent uncontrolled and/or unwanted movements of the at least one shuttle (4) on the conveying means (7) of the at least one continuous conveyor (6), the conveying means (7) comprises ferromagnetic and/or magnetic elements (8) to interact with the drive magnets (51) of the at least one shuttle (4, 4i), wherein an arrangement of the ferromagnetic and/or magnetic elements (8) of the conveying means (7) is configured in such a way that a predeterminable holding force (F<H>) is established between the at least one shuttle (4) of the electromagnetic transport device (2) and the conveying means (7) of the continuous conveyor (6) due to an interaction of the drive magnets (51) of the at least one shuttle (4) and the ferromagnetic and/or magnetic elements (8) of the conveying means (7).
