Abstract
The weight of a body-to-be-conveyed constituting a conveying device is reduced, and the friction force between the sliding surface of the body-to-be-conveyed and the conveyance path is reduced. A body-to-be-conveyed that is a component of a conveying device that uses electromagnetic force as thrust and can move in a horizontal direction includes a mover in which a bottom surface is arranged so that a predetermined gap is formed in a vertical direction with respect to the sliding surface thereof, in which the mover includes a permanent magnet and a cover, a gap facing surface of the permanent magnet facing the gap includes one magnetic pole, the cover is installed on a side of the permanent magnet opposite from the gap facing surface in the vertical direction, the horizontal outermost diameter of the cover is larger than the horizontal outermost diameter of the permanent magnet, and the cover is formed of a flat plate.
