To provide a carrier track formed such that the carrier track is run as a power is fed in a non-contact manner to the carrier track from a feeder laid along a running rail and to stably run the carrier track at the branch part of the running rail as handling of the feeder at the branch part of the running rail is simplified.
The auxiliary drive equipment of a carrier track is formed such that a carrier track is run as a power is fed in a non contact manner to the carrier track from a feeder 12 laid along running rails 1A, 1B, and 1C. A branch moving part 4 having a plurality of running rails 41 and 42 for branching is disposed at the branch parts of the running rails 41 and 42 for branch. By selecting one of the running rails 41 and 42 for branching, the running rails 1A, 1B, and 1C on the fixed side are interconnected and the feeder 12 is disposed on the fixed side in a state to avoid the branch moving part 4. Linear motors 6A, 6B, and 6C are disposed on the fixed side of the branch part and a reaction plate on the carrier track side.
