Abstract
Horizontal motion conveyors for moving material are disclosed. The horizontal motion conveyor includes multiple drives. The second drive may float relative to the first drive. The conveyor may be made successively longer by including additional floating drives. Each drive may include a motor such as a servomotor that is connected to the driveshaft that drives the horizontal motion of the conveyor. A control system may control the rotation and positioning of the shafts.
