Abstract

A linear motor conveyor system with actuation and method for actuation including: a track; a moving element configured to move on the track, the moving element including: a main body; a sidecar; and an actuation mechanism, the actuation mechanism including: an actuator; and a sidecar linkage connecting the sidecar to the actuator, wherein the main body and sidecar are independently moveable relative to each other and the sidecar linkage is configured such that movement of the sidecar and/or main body relative to each other provides energy to the actuation mechanism. A method of actuation for a linear motor conveyor system, the method including providing a sidecar with a sidecar linkage connecting the sidecar to a main body of a moving element; and independently moving the sidecar and/or the main body relative to each other such that the sidecar linkage provides energy to an actuator provided to the moving element.
