Abstract
A linear transport system comprises at least one carriage which has at least one permanent magnet and at least one roller, an energizable stator device which has multiple coils, and a guide rail which is arranged on the stator device and which serves for guiding the carriage. The guide rail comprises a running surface for the rolling of the roller of the carriage, such that the roller can roll on the running surface during a displacement, guided by way of the guide rail, of the carriage, wherein at least one electrical contacting device is provided which is formed separately from the roller and which is designed to form an electrical connection between the carriage and the guide rail during the displacement, guided by way of the guide rail, of the carriage.
