1. A roller conveyor, comprising:
a plurality of driven rollers (2) each of which has a cylindrical outer surface (21), arranged to allow the support of an object to be transported, which is tangential to a transport plane (a) on which the transport of the objects occurs;
a motor (3);
a transmission element (4), which kinematically connects the motor (3) to the driven rollers (2) and is placed in contact with a portion of the outer surface (21) tangential to the transport plane (a); and
a plurality of presser rollers (5), placed in contact with the transmission element (4), on the opposite side with respect to the driven rollers (2), each of said presser rollers (5) being arranged abutting a respective driven roller (2), so as to press the transmission element (4) between itself and the respective driven roller (2).
