ABSTRACT:
A runway for a conveyor whereby a transporting pallet which straddles the runway is floated in the air by air discharged from the runway and is conveyed by a linear motor provided in the runway. Air ducts to supply air to the upper part of the runway are provided symmetrically. Compressed air discharged upwardly and sideways from nozzle holes at the upper part of the runway floats the transporting pallet which runs above and along the runway by operation of the linear motor. The runway having open spaces for air ducts and an open space for installation of linear motors is made by extrusion from a metallic mold.
