Zusammenfassung:An endless conveyor belt for conveying articles within a high temperature environment, such as a sputtering apparatus, the belt (10) comprising an elongated, spring-like member (12) having two opposed ends (14,16). The spring-like member is prevented from stretching by either a tubular wire braid (22) within which the spring-like member is received in a close fitted engagement or, one or more cables located within the spring-like member. The ends of the tubular wire braid covered spring-like member are preferably joined by wire end loops (18,20) connected to the opposed ends of the spring-like member which are in turn connected by a link. The opposed ends of the spring-like member containing one or more cables are preferably connected by a threaded coupling member having a plurality of threads, threadably engaging the coils of the spring.
