Abstract
An oscillating conveyor includes a support, a conveying element arranged to carry objects to be moved and supported by the support in order to be displaced between a first extreme position and a second extreme position, and a driving device to displace the conveying element. The driving device includes a crank mechanism, which includes a pendulum pin, which in relation to a rotational axis of the crank mechanism is mounted such that, when the crank rotates, at the pendulum pin an angle between the axis of rotation and a first pivot pin varies within an angular range being either obtuse or acute, resulting in the desired displacement of the conveying element at different speeds, the position of the pendulum pin in relation to the rotational axis being adjustable to vary the displacement speed of the conveyor element.
