Abstract: A compact conveyor drive system which prevents resonance-induced noise and vibration caused by a polygonal motion observed in transmission gearing. The conveyor belt of the conveyor is driven through a chain trained over a driven sprocket mounted to the shaft of a drum and a drive sprocket on the side of a motor.

The motor generates lower vibration, while providing sufficient torque.
