Abstract
A conveying apparatus capable for conveying a magnetic workpiece at high speed with low vibration and low noise, superior in durability, and capable of achieving a reduction in driving force. The conveying apparatus includes a non-magnetic rail having a guide surface for slidably guiding a first surface of a workpiece, a non-magnetic belt having a conveying surface in contact with a second surface of the workpiece and movable along the rail, driving means for running the non-magnetic belt in circulation, and a rotatable roller whose peripheral surface is in contact with the surface of the non-magnetic belt opposite to the feeding surface. Provided in the roller is a magnet adapted to generate a magnetic force having a component force for causing the second surface of the workpiece to be attracted to the roller through the intermediation of the non-magnetic belt and a component force for bringing the first surface of the workpiece into contact with the rail.
