Abstract
A transfer device for transferring packaging units has at least one eccentric unit with a rotatably mounted eccentric element, which has a rod lead-through for a rod. The rod is mounted, by means of the rod lead-through, in a rotatable manner and in a displaceable manner in the axial direction of the eccentric element. The transfer device also has a first drive unit for rotating the eccentric element and a second drive unit for displacing the rod. A holding device for receiving packaging units is connected to the rod.
