Long-stator linear motor

A long-stator linear motor having at least one transport vehicle and a transport path, along which the at least one transport vehicle is movably arranged in a movement direction, the long-stator linear motor comprising:

• the at least one transport vehicle comprising a passive part;
• at least one holding structure having drive coils, on which the passive part of the at least one transport vehicle is arranged,
• a guide surface running along the transport path;
• a guide track running along the transport path;
• the passive part having at least one first drive magnet which is arranged parallel to the guide surface, and an air gap is formed between the guide surface and the at least one drive magnet;
• the at least one transport vehicle having at least one first profile member, which is arranged on the guide track and is positioned onto the guide track by a pressing force acting in a transverse direction that is normal to the movement direction and that is normal to an ascending direction also normal to the movement direction;
• at least one first running member is arranged to support the passive part on the at least one holding structure against an attractive force acting between the drive magnets and the drive coils, which ensures the air gap;
• the guide track being configured so that the pressing force produces a positional adjustment of the at least one transport vehicle in at least one of a positive or a negative ascending direction;
• the holding structure having an auxiliary guide in at least one of divergence or convergence areas of the transport path;
• and
• the at least one transport vehicle having at least one first auxiliary guide member which, by interacting with the auxiliary guide, delimits movement of at least on one side of the at least one transport vehicle in at least one of the positive or negative ascending direction.
