Abstract
Support structure for a transport unit of a planar motor to reduce or prevent transmission of force to an active surface of a stator. The transport unit is movable by at least one stator of the planar motor and a product is positionable on the transport unit. In at least one support position of the transport unit defined in relation to the support structure, the support structure applies at least one supporting force to the transport unit, while at least one process force, which acts on the product, is at least partially transmitted to the transport unit and counteracted. The transport unit is movable into and out of the support position in a floating manner via the at least one stator. The support structure is mounted on a base and at least partially diverts the counterforce caused by the supporting force to the base.
