Abstract
In a long stator linear motor, in order to implement a transfer position in which a transport unit (Tn) is magnetically steered in order to be redirected from a first transport section (Am) to a second transport section (An) and in order that the forward movement of the transport unit (Tn) remains as unaffected as possible by the transfer, it is provided that at the transfer position (U) on at least one side of the transport unit (Tn), the stator current (i) of at least one driving coil () interacting with an excitation magnet () of the transport unit (Tn) is supplied as a current vector with a propulsive force-forming current component (i) and a lateral force-forming current component (i), and the stator current (i) generates a propulsive force-forming electromagnetic force (F) and/or lateral force-forming electromagnetic force component (F) which is superimposed on the propulsive force (F) acting on the transport unit (Tn) for production of a steering effect (L).
