PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a driving system for a pallet conveyor capable of achieving the maximum efficiency of conveyance, avoiding collision between pallets, preventing a pallet driving system from becoming complicated, and making a space occupied by the pallet driving system the minimum. SOLUTION: The module type friction driving system and method used for the pallet conveyor are provided. The driving system has driving assembly bodies arranged at a carrying-in end of the pallet conveyor and on an opposing side face at a carrying-out end. Each driving assembly body is provided with at least one driving unit and at least one winding unit, and these units are mutually connected by a driving belt. One idler unit or more may be arranged between the driving unit and the winding unit. Each driving assembly body is provided with a driving means for pressing the driving belt against a side wall of a conveyor pallet. Preferably, each of the driving unit, the winding unit, and the idler unit is of module type and can be added and removed to/from the driving assembly body independently from the other units.
