Abstract
The invention relates to a linear motor for a linear drive mechanism of a magnetic levitation transport system. Said linear motor comprises a plurality of inductor supports () which are arranged in a row and which have grooves () crosswise to the longitudinal direction, said grooves being substantially equal distances apart from each other; and at least three linear motor lines (), which are wound into windings () in a meandering shape and which are located in the grooves () in sections. Said coils () have winding heads () situated a distance (A) apart. The invention solves the technical problem of producing the windings continuously and economically by providing that the lengths (A') of the winding heads () of the of the at least three linear motor lines () are extended at a point of discontinuity () between two adjacent inductor supports ().
