Permanent magnet arrangement of a shuttle

An arrangement of a linear and/or planar motor comprising, a plurality of shuttles, each of the plurality of shuttles comprising:

• a plurality of permanent magnets arranged on at least one magnet area forming an alternating sequence of magnetic strips of different polarities in a central region of the at least one magnet area, wherein the at least one magnet area has a main axis that crosses the magnetic strips and defines a preferred direction or movement direction of the shuttle and wherein an edge of the at least one magnet area crosses the main axis;
• and
• at least one end magnet body is arranged in an edge area of the at least one magnet area located between the central region and the edge of the at least one magnet area and is configured to include a longitudinal length extending along only a part of the edge of the magnet area, the at least one end magnet body being arranged between the permanent magnets in the central region and the edge of the at least one magnet area to produce different magnetic fields at different positions along a length of the edge of the at least one magnet area and to produce at least two polarity regions having different polarities over a length of the edge of the at least one magnet area, and
• at least two of the plurality of shuttles being arranged next to each other so that respective edges of the at least two shuttles are arranged next to each other with counteracting attraction and repulsion forces between the respective edges of the at least two shuttles.
