An independent cart system includes an inductive link for contactless power transfer between a track and each mover as the mover travels along the track. A system for contactless data transmission between movers and a controller in the independent cart system includes a transmitter and/or receiver mounted on each mover and a complementary receiver and/or transmitter mounted on a track. The transmitter receives data to be transmitted across the inductive link and modulates a voltage present on either the primary or secondary winding to which it is coupled. The modulated voltage present on one winding induces a corresponding modulation on the voltage present on the other winding. A receiver operatively connected to the other side of the inductive link detects the modulated voltage and decodes the data from the modulated voltage received across the inductive link.

Disclosed is a device with a stator and a rotor, the device comprising: a stator; a rotor, wherein an air gap is provided between the rotor and the stator, and an air gap protection device fixedly connected to the stator, wherein the radial distance between the air gap protection device and the rotor is less than the radial distance between thy stator and the rotor, and the air gap protection device rotates relative to the rotor when in contact with the rotor. By arranging the air gap protection device fixedly connected to the stator, the air gap protection device can rotate relative to the rotor when in contact with the rotor, and the radial distance between the air gap protection device and the rotor is less than the radial distance between the stator and the rotor.
