Abstract

To provide a conveying apparatus that includes: a fixed section; a movable section movable with respect to the fixed section; and a pair of linear motors each located so as to be partially included in the fixed section and the movable section. Each linear motor includes a primary magnetic pole section and a secondary magnetic pole section, and these pole sections are arranged to face each other so as to enable the movable section to move with respect to the fixed section. The movable section includes a movable body capable of conveying a conveyed object, and one of the magnetic pole sections of each linear motor. Each linear motor is located at each of opposite ends of the movable body in a width direction that is orthogonal to a moving direction, and the fixed section includes the other of the magnetic pole sections.
