• Railless Motor – The MagneMover LITE motor without integral rails.
NOTE: Switches and “S” turns are not supported on precision rail systems.
• Post Mount – Attaches to the beam support structure (or user-supplied base) provid-
ing a structural interconnecting point between the motor system and the precision rail
system.
• Support Post – Preassembled post assembly consisting of a spine plate, support post,
and post mount. The spine plate, which is at the top of the assembly, supports the rail
components. The post mount, which is at the bottom of the assembly, attaches to the
underlying support structure to provide structural integrity throughout the system.
• Spine Plate – Attaches to the top of a support post assembly and provides a means for
securing and interconnecting the rail segments within the precision rail system.
• Precision Rail – Single, interconnected mono-rail, which makes sure that the vehicles
are maintained in the proper relationship to the motors.
• Vehicle with Magnet Arrays – Rides on the precision rail and carries the payload
through the MM LITE transport system as directed. The magnet array is mounted to
the vehicle and interacts with the motors, which moves each vehicle independently.

• Vehicle – Supports the magnet array and bearings and provides a mounting
surface for the payload.
• Precision Bearings – V-groove bearings that support the vehicle on the preci-
sion rail.
• Magnet Array – Interacts with the motors, which move the vehicle.
• UHMW Strip – Provides a low friction surface to help prevent damage if there
is contact between the magnet array and the motor.
