ABSTRACT:
A conveyor for clean manufacturing applications. The conveyor comprises interconnected conveyor modules, each of which includes a conveyor belt segment(s). Each conveyor belt segment includes a pair of side rails that are in parallel or substantially in parallel to each other; a pair of autonomous, belt-drives for transporting work pieces or objects carrying work pieces from a proximal end of the belt segment to a distal end of the belt segment; a pair of driving wheels for turning the belt-drives, and a motor for directly or indirectly driving each of the pair of driving wheels. One of the driving wheels is mechanically or magnetically coupled to a magnetic hysteresis clutch that allows the driving wheels to disengage from the drive shaft of the motor if the inertia of the work piece does not permit synchronization of work piece with the drive speed of the motor during acceleration or deceleration.
