Abstract
The invention relates to a linear motor system, in particular a transport system, e.g. a multi-carrier, comprising: a guide track having a plurality of electromagnets arranged distributed along the guide track; at least one carrier that is guided by and movable along the guide track and that comprises a drive magnet for cooperating with the electromagnets of the guide track to move the carrier; and a control device for controlling the movement of the carrier relative to the guide track by a corresponding control of the electromagnets, wherein the control device is configured to control the carrier to perform a shaking movement.

A linear motor system (10), comprising:
- a guide track (16) having a plurality of electromagnets (20) arranged distributed along the guide track;
- at least one carrier (14) that is guided by and movable along the guide track (16) and that comprises a drive magnet (22) for cooperating with the electromagnets (20) of the guide track (16) to move the carrier (14);
- and
- a control device for controlling the movement of the carrier (14) relative to the guide track (16) by a corresponding control of the electromagnets (20), characterized in that
- the control device is configured to control the carrier (14) to perform a shaking movement (32).
A method of operating a linear motor system (10),
- wherein the linear motor system (10) comprises:
- a guide track (16) having a plurality of electromagnets (20) arranged distributed along the guide track (16);
- at least one carrier (14) that is guided by and movable along the guide track (16) and that comprises a drive magnet (22) for cooperating with the electromagnets (20) of the guide track (16) to move the carrier (14);
- and
- a control device for controlling the movement of the carrier (14) relative to the guide track (16) by a corresponding control of the electromagnets (20), wherein the method comprises
- the carrier (14) being controlled to perform a shaking movement (32).
