Conveyor system

Conveyor system with some paths predetermined transport, with conveying elements (2) which are movable along the conveying paths and at least with a drive means which is fixed arranged in the region of one of the transport paths and that in a drive region of this conveyor path acts on the conveying elements (2) accelerating them or frenándolos, for which the actuating means has a plurality of magnetic elements (12) arranged in a row (11), generating a magnetic field that varies along the magnet element row (11), wherein at least a part of the magnet element row (11) is arranged in the drive region, substantially parallel to the transport path, where each of the conveying elements (2) has a portion (4) of an electrically conductive material, the conductive parts (4) are so arranged on the carrier element (2) which is positioned in the drive region within magnetic space magnet element row (11), causing the eddy currents generated during relative movement parallel to the conveyor path between the magnet element row (11) and the conductive portion (4), forces that oppose relative movement, to which the magnet element row (11) has a row of permanent magnets arranged (12) alternatively or a row of teeth (13) spaced from a ferromagnetic material, which row of teeth is positioned within a magnetic field essentially homogeneous generated electrically, and wherein the magnet element row (11) or a part thereof, which effects the drive, can be moved within the actuating area parallel to the conveying path for exert an effect accelerator or retarder on conveyor elements (2).
