Abstract

A magnetic track system for a transport device for moving a rotor along the magnetic track system includes a plurality of linear sections having an even number of magnets of alternating polarity, which are disposed on a support in each case, the magnetic orientation of the magnets reversing itself at regular intervals across abutting sections n the linear regions of the magnetic track system. In the curved regions of the magnetic track system, on the other hand, the polarity of two adjacent magnets of different sections is the same.
