Abstract

A transporting system includes plural primary dispersedly arranged linear induction motors and plural continuously movable bodies connected by a secondary conductor in an endless path. At least one of the linear induction motors is directly controlled by an inverter control device, and the remaining linear induction motors are switchably connected to a power source. A running speed of the moveable bodies is detected, and the difference between the detected running speed and a desired running speed is used to control the inverter control device and the switching of the remaining induction motors to the power source. A voltage controller can be used in place of the inverter control device.
