Abstract: A container carrier connects to a filling machine with a gripper on one end that suspends a container during transport thereof along a transport direction. A deformation sensor arranged on a surface of the carrier detects the carrier's deformation when, as a container is filled, the weight of filling product deforms the carrier.

Abstract: A container-treatment machine comprises first and second motors, a bearing device, a ring gear, and a gyroscope that rotates about a rotation axis and receives containers. The motors are arranged in corresponding first and second columns and couple to corresponding first and second pinions. They are fixed relative to the bearing device. The ring gear is mounted on the bearing device and includes a circular tooth arrangement that meshes with the pinions. The pinions are arranged at a distance from one another along a circumferential direction of the tooth arrangement.

Abstract: A processing station of a container-processing machine includes an electromagnetic linear drive that raises and lowers a container carrier. The linear drive includes a tubular guide element having a stack of magnets extending through it. This guide element guides the motion of a guided element that has coils. Current through these coils generates a magnetic field that interacts with the field from the tubular guide's magnets. This interaction yields a force that can raise the carrier.
