Abstract

An apparatus for a moving conveyor feeder comprises an hydraulic actuator to alternatively move a shaft in opposite directions. Motion amplification is operationally coupled to the shaft to amplify the amount of motion thereof, and a conveyor feeder is operationally coupled to the motion amplification; whereby a small amount of linear movement imparted to the shaft by the hydraulic actuator results in a much larger linear movement by the conveyor feeder.
