A linear motor system, in particular a transport system, for example a multi-carrier system, includes a guide track having a plurality of electromagnets arranged distributed along the guide track. The linear motor system furthermore includes a first and a second carrier that are guided by and movable along the guide track and that each include a drive magnet for cooperating with the electromagnets of the guide track to move the carriers; and a control device for controlling the movement of the carriers relative to the guide track by a corresponding control of the electromagnets. Furthermore, the linear motor system includes at least one energy transmission element that is fastened to the first and/or second carrier and that transmits energy from the first carrier to the second carrier.
