Device for the transfer of fitting parts for container labelling

A device for transferring fitting parts for container labelling, the device comprising:

• a hub coupled centrally and directly to a direct drive so as to be rotationally driven by the direct drive around a rotational axis in a stationary hub bearing arrangement disposed in an outer circumferential region of the hub;
• a plurality of drive shafts rotatably mounted near an outside circumference of the hub, each drive shaft being parallel to the rotational axis and coupled to a respective transfer shaft carrying a transfer element;
• and
• a lantern wheel disposed underneath the hub, the lantern wheel including drive pinions and toothed wheel segments disposed on the drive shafts and a stationary control cam plate for pivotally rotating the drive shafts with rotation of the hub,
• wherein the direct drive is disposed underneath the control cam plate, and
• wherein the direct drive is an electric torque motor or an electric servomotor, the torque motor having a stator and an interior rotor, the stator containing coils and being mounted on a bottom side of the control cam plate or of a plate-like support structure of the device, and the interior rotor being equipped with magnets and being directly mounted on the central shaft of the hub.
