Module (1) for a modular conveyor mat, comprising a body part (2) extending transversely to a conveying direction with a top (3) and a bottom (4), which bottom is provided with a tooth chamber (6) for receiving a driving tooth of a sprocket wheel. The body part, at a front (7) and rear (8), is provided with a series of hinge parts (9) and receiving spaces (10) alternately successive transversely to the conveying direction, so that successive modules (1) are hingedly couplable using hinge pins (11) extending through hinge bores (13) provided in the hinge parts. The front is part of a front body part (2A) of the module and the rear is part of a rear body part (2B) of the module. The front and rear body parts are hingedly connected with each other relative to a pivoting axis (Z), which traverses the tooth chamber (6).
