The positioning device for positioning a movable conveyed goods carrier on a conveyor track in a clamped position includes a stop device (12); a movement device for a positioning movement and a drive (20) for driving the movement device. The movement device has a positioning element (36), which is engagable with a positioning counter element (46), so that the conveyed goods carrier (30) is clamped between the movement device and the stop device (12). The movement device also has a clamping arrangement including the positioning element (36) and two clamping parts (40), which is movable by the drive (20) from an out-of-engagement configuration into a clamping configuration, in which it exerts a holding force on the conveyed goods carrier (30) in cooperation with the stop device (12). A conveyor system including a conveyor chain or belt, the conveyor track and the positioning device are also described.
