Track System for a Linear Motor Conveying System, Linear Motor Conveying System and Corresponding Methods

A track system for a linear motor conveying system, the track system comprising multiple track modules connected to each other,

• wherein each of the track modules comprises a track component and has a conveying path for a carrier module to be received in the respective track module, each of the track modules having two ends and the respective conveying path extending from a first one to a second one of said two ends,
• wherein, for each of the track modules, the respective track component comprises, along at least part of the respective conveying path, a first side part, a second side part and a bottom part, wherein the first side part and the second side part are arranged opposite to each other,
• wherein each of the track modules comprises guiding structures, each configured to act as a bearing surface for a wheel of the carrier module,
• wherein, for each of the modules, at least two of the guiding structures are arranged at the respective first side part and/or the respective second side part,
• wherein, for each of the track modules, the guiding structures are configured with a free hanging end such that, at the first and/or second one of the two ends, the respective free hanging end is not in contact with the track component,
• wherein the track system further comprises one or multiple connectors, each connector comprising at least two connecting recesses, and
• wherein, for one or each of multiple sets of two adjacent of the multiple track modules, which are arranged next to each other along the conveying path, such that free hanging ends of the respective guiding structures are located next to each other, the free hanging ends of the respective guiding structures at the first side part and/or the second side part are connected to each other by way of the one or at least one of the multiple connectors.
