Magnetic power system for low-friction transportation of loads

In a magnetic force system for low friction transportation of loads in a direction of transportation, the system including

• at least one ferromagnetic support profile and a stationary support, the support profile being secured to the stationary support, the support profile having at least one vertically oriented profile wall which extends parallel to the direction of transportation,
• at least two pairs of permanent magnets located opposite each other relative to the at least one profile wall, wherein one of the pairs of magnets includes two poles oriented transversely of the direction of transportation and alternatingly in the direction of transportation, wherein the magnets are arranged one behind the other in the direction of transportation along the at least one profile wall and essentially parallel to the at least one profile wall, wherein the pairs of magnets have outer poles, a ferromagnetic plate for short-circuiting the outer poles of the magnets,
• air gaps being defined between the magnets and the at least one profile wall and between the magnets in the direction of transportation, wherein the loads are attached to the magnets, and
• mechanical means for permanently maintaining the air gaps,
• the improvement comprising the poles of the magnets arranged opposite each other in relation to the at least one profile wall preventing the same pole orientation, so that the poles of the magnets arranged opposite each other with respect to the profile wall are identical.
