Long-stator linear motor with vehicle arranged for movement along transport path. Motor includes holding structure(s) having drive coils, on which passive part of vehicle is arranged; and guide surface and guide track running along path. Passive part has first drive magnet(s) arranged parallel to guide surface with air gap. Vehicle has first profile member(s) arranged on guide track and positioned by pressing force acting in transverse direction onto guide track with respect to an ascending direction running normally to movement direction and transverse direction. First running member(s) support passive part on holding structure against attractive force acting between drive magnets and drive coils to ensure the air gap. Vehicle has first auxiliary guide member(s) which, interacting with an auxiliary guide on holding structure at least in divergence and/or convergence areas of path, delimits movement of vehicle in a positive and/or negative ascending direction at least on one side.

Long-stator linear motor

A holder () for use in a conveyor line () formed from a stator of a long stator linear motor with at least a first retaining element () and a second retaining element (), wherein the first retaining element () and the second retaining element () are arranged side by side and spaced apart from each other in a first direction () and the first retaining element () in this first direction () comprises a first rigidity (S) and the second retaining element () in this first direction () a second rigidity (S), which is lower than the first rigidity (S).
