Summary:The method involves driving stationary conveying elements (2) of a conveyor unit (5) by a linear motor (20) for transporting containers (10) or container groups, where the linear motor is in operative connection with magnets of the conveying elements. The movement of each of the conveying elements is independently controlled by a control device (30) to allow a distance (D) between two conveyed containers or container groups to be varied, where the containers are temporarily supported by a conveyor chain during transportation of the containers with the conveying elements. An independent claim is also included for a device for transporting containers or container groups.
