A conveyance apparatus includes a stator including a plurality of coils arranged along a first direction and a mover. The mover moves along the plurality of coils and includes a first magnet group including a plurality of first magnets arranged to face the plurality of coils along the first direction, and a second magnet group including a plurality of second magnets arranged to face the plurality of coils along a second direction intersecting with the first direction. At least one of the plurality of coils includes a core, a wire-wound portion wound around the core, and a yoke. The yoke is adjacent to an outer periphery of a portion of the wire-wound portion along the first direction and extends in the first direction.

Conveyance apparatus and method of manufacturing article

An image forming device includes an image holding member and a charging unit. In a case in which an AC current, while being increased, is supplied to the charging unit in a state in which a DC voltage value and an AC voltage value applied to the charging unit are maintained, or a case in which a DC voltage, while being increased, is supplied to the charging unit in a state in which the AC voltage value applied to the charging unit is maintained, a current detection unit detects DC current values. An inflection point derivation unit derives an inflection point of a correlation line representing an correlation between the detected DC current values and the supply amounts. An execution unit executes pre-specified processing when a characteristic value of the derived inflection point reaches a pre-specified value.
