Abstract:
1. Device for the transfer of container fittings, comprising at least two gripper units offset in the circumferential direction around a transfer axis of a transfer station, each gripper unit being able to be activated in a clocked manner, wherein each gripper unit takes over from a feeder, via a movement around the transfer axis generated by an electric servomotor, at least one container fitting individually from a moving take-over position and transfers the container fitting through the transfer station to a moving hand-over position offset in the circumferential direction of the transfer station with respect to the take-over position, the gripper units being arranged such that they can be moved around the transfer axis relative to one another, the transfer station comprising the electric servomotors as drive motors of the gripper units for generating within one full revolution of each gripper unit individually periodically non-uniform movements of the gripper units can be generated in the circumferential direction, wherein each electric servomotor comprises a torque motor with a stationary, coil-containing stator and a ring armature with magnets coupled to, the ring armature being coupled to at least one gripper unit, the electric servomotors being stacked one above the other or nested one inside the other.
