A vibratory conveyor drive is provided that is operatively connected to a vibratory conveyor tray for use in generating reciprocating movement in the tray so that a variety of goods may be transported along the tray. The conveyor drive includes a drive wheel having a radial slot formed in it. The drive wheel is supported for rotation about a first axis of rotation and is operatively connected to a source of rotational motive force, such as an electric motor. A transfer wheel is supported for rotation about a second axis of rotation, and is positioned in substantially parallel-spaced relation to the drive wheel. the transfer wheel includes a first shaft projecting outwardly from a first surface, with a drive- follower positioned on an end of the first shaft. The drive-follower is received within the radial slot of the drive wheel. An axle projects outwardly from a second surface of the transfer wheel, and is positioned in coaxial relation with the second axis of rotation. A reciprocating arm having first and second ends is secured to the axle at the first end in substantially parallel-spaced relation to the transfer wheel. The reciprocating arm includes a drive shaft projecting outwardly from the second end, and has a tray-follower positioned on it and mounted on to a portion of the tray so as to provide the reciprocating movement to the tray. A vibratory conveyor system for conveying materials is also provided including the foregoing drive mechanism.
