CONVEYOR SYSTEM COMPRISING AN ELECTROMAGNETIC BRAKE

摘要

A conveyor system has a transport device that can be moved along a substantially vertical path of travel and a linear motor having a primary part arranged on the transport device, and a secondary part arranged along the path of travel, the primary part has a primary winding and at least one permanent magnet, the secondary part has a profile in the direction of the path of travel with alternatingly arranged grooves and teeth, and a brake winding is arranged on the secondary part such that it can generate a braking force by interacting with the permanent magnet to brake the transport device for increasing operational safety.
