Abstract
The invention relates to a bearing arrangement between a carrier (15) for pressing and/or brushing elements (14) and a rotor (4) of a labeling machine (1), said rotor driven about a vertical machine axis (MA), with at least one first bearing element (19) provided on the rotor and a second bearing element (28) provided on the carrier (15), wherein the bearing elements abut one another across bearing surfaces forming a sliding bearing.
Claims18
A bearing arrangement between a carrier for pressing-on and/or brushing elements and a rotor of a labelling machine, said rotor being driveable in a rotating manner about a vertical machine axis, said bearing arrangement comprising:
- a first bearing element provided on the rotor, and
- a second bearing element provided on the carrier,
- wherein the first and second bearing elements abut against each other via bearing surfaces that form at least one sliding bearing, and
- wherein the bearing surfaces comprise a plastics material paired with a corrosion-resistant metal, selected for the interacting bearing surfaces.
A labeling machine for labeling containers, said labeling machine comprising:
- a plurality of treatment stations formed at a rotor that is rotatable about a vertical machine axis, at which treatment stations the containers are moved on a transport section extending about the machine axis past pressing-on and/or brushing elements for pressing-on and/or brushing-on labels,
- wherein, with reference to the machine axis, the pressing-on and/or brushing elements, are provided, radially inside a side of the transport section of a carrier mounted on the rotor via at least one bearing arrangement, wherein said carrier does not rotate with said rotor,
- said bearing arrangement including
- a first bearing element provided on the rotor, and
- a second bearing element provided on the carrier,
- wherein the first and second bearing elements abut against each other via bearing surfaces that form at least one sliding bearing, and
- wherein the bearing surfaces comprise a plastics material paired with a corrosion-resistant metal selected for the interacting bearing surfaces.
