A machine for making thermoplastic containers by stretching and blowing a preform, comprising several molding stations mounted on a rotary carrousel, each station being provided with at least a stretch rod whereof the sliding movement is controlled along an axis (An). The stretch rod is controlled by a magnetic device having at least a fixed magnetic guide arranged about the axis of the carrousel and a slide which is integral with the stretch rod and bears at least a magnetic shoe and the shoe and the guide co-operate by magnetic coupling such that the guide imposes a predetermined axial movement on the slide.
