An electromagnetic transport system includes a stator and at least one transport unit movable along the stator. The stator includes at least one drive module with an airtight housing where a plurality of drive coils are arranged. A supply cable connects the stator or the at least one drive module to a supply voltage for energizing the drive coils. An empty conduit is integrated into the supply cable and is arranged inside an outer sheath of the supply cable. The empty conduit is provided with an opening at a supply-side end of the supply cable. An end of the supply cable is connected to the at least one drive module such that an exchange of a medium between an interior of the at least one drive module, formed by the airtight housing, and an environment in the area of the supply voltage only takes place via the empty conduit.
