Abstract: A driving unit includes an electromagnet (33), a vibration plate (11) arranged on one side of the electromagnet (33), and a complementary vibration plate (32) arranged at the opposite side of the electromagnet (33). The parts (1, 2) of the vibration conveyor that need to vibrate are firmly secured to the vibration plate (11). The electromagnet is secured to the complementary vibration plate (32) in a vertically adjustable manner. The vibration plate (11) and the complementary vibration plate (32) are elastically connected to each other. The elastic connection is ensured by at least three supporting beams (29) that are uniformly distributed around the circumference of the winding of the electromagnet (33) at an oblique angle with the winding axis of the electromagnet (33). The supporting beams (29) are connected to the vibration plate (11) and to the complementary vibration plate (32) by leaf spring sets (30, 31).
