Abstract: A driving system for vibration conveyors of the resonance type has an electromagnetic circuit with an electromagnet with a yoke, with respect to which a running measurement of the current and voltage of the electromagnet is performed, that the electric properties obtained for the electromagnetic circuit as a result of the measurement are used to calculate an instantaneous airgap between the electromagnet and yoke, the value of which is used as a control value for the drive current supplied to the electromagnet, so that an essentially sinusoidal oscillation with a desired amplitude is maintained.
