A conveyor system for plates of metallic, magnetic or non-magnetic material is disclosed, consisting of a linear motor stator and a first nozzle plate which is arranged on the active side of the linear motor and a second nozzle plate arranged surface-parallel thereto while leaving a gap for the passage of the plates therebetween. By means of the nozzles of the nozzle plates, air cushions can be produced within the gap for the positioning of the plates. The magnetic fields produced by the linear motor can be employed to propel metal plates along the conveyor system.
