Abstract

A linear motor system, in particular a transport system, having a carrier, having a guide track for the carrier, having a guide rail arranged at the guide track, and having a guide element arranged at the carrier, wherein the guide rail and the guide element cooperate to guide the carrier at the guide track, a magnet is provided at the carrier and a magnet is provided at the guide track for driving the carrier along the guide track and/or for holding the carrier at the guide track, a y direction extends in parallel with a spacing between the magnets, the guide track comprises a contact surface which the guide rail contacts, and a normal of the contact surface extends with at least one component in parallel with the y direction.
