Positioning device and conveyor system with the positioning device

摘要

The positioning device for positioning a movable conveyed goods carrier on a conveyor track in a clamped position includes a stop device ( 12 ); a movement device for a positioning movement and a drive ( 20 ) for driving the movement device. The movement device has a positioning element ( 36 ), which is engagable with a positioning counter element ( 46 ), so that the conveyed goods carrier ( 30 ) is clamped between the movement device and the stop device ( 12 ). The movement device also has a clamping arrangement including the positioning element ( 36 ) and two clamping parts ( 40 ), which is movable by the drive ( 20 ) from an out-of-engagement configuration into a clamping configuration, in which it exerts a holding force on the conveyed goods carrier ( 30 ) in cooperation with the stop device ( 12 ). A conveyor system including a conveyor chain or belt, the conveyor track and the positioning device are also described.
