Abstract: A support element for a compacting device for two drawing system units of a spinning machine disposed next to each other, includes a suction channel that extends inside the support element and is connected to a suction zone of suction drums via openings of suction inserts. The end faces of the suction drums are open at one end and are disposed coaxially opposite each other at a distance. The suction drums are rotatably mounted on a shaft that is attached to the support element. The support element is formed from two half shells that form the suction channel and are connected to each other by way of attachment means, wherein each of the half shells has an outwardly projecting tubular suction insert. The suction inserts are disposed coaxially opposite each other, and each suction insert has at least one bearing element that is provided with a passage and has at least one brace, by way of which the shaft is held in the radial direction.

Abstract: A device for compacting a sliver (V) on a spinning machine has a driven, revolving compaction element (17) that is acted on by suction air and which has a drive element (28, 29) that, in an operating position, forms a drive connection with a driven element (7, 7z) of the spinning machine while forming a first gearing stage (G1). To make the drive of the compaction device more flexible, a second gearing stage (G2) is provided between the drive element (28, 29) of the compaction element (17) of the first gearing stage (G1) and the compaction element (17).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for compacting a sliver (V) on a spinning machine. At least one rotatably supported nip roller (33) is associated with a compaction element downstream from a suction zone (Z) to form a nip line (P). The compaction element (17) and the nip roller (33) are rotatably supported on a shared support (20) that is detachably fastened to the spinning machine via fastening means (46). The compaction element (17) has at least one drive element (28) that forms a drive connection with a bottom roller (7) of a pair of delivery rollers (7, 8) via a weighting device (55, 58) when the compaction element is transferred from an idle position to an operating position. The support has a suction channel (SK) for the suction air of the compaction element (17).

Abstract: The invention relates to a support element (20) for a compacting device (VM) for two drawing system units (2) of a spinning machine disposed next to each other, comprising a suction channel (SK), which extends inside the support element (20) and which is connected to a suction zone (Z) of suction drums (17) via openings (S) of suction inserts (18), wherein in each case one suction drum (17) is associated with the delivery roller pair (7, 8) of the respective drawing system unit (2), and the end faces (84) of the suction drums (17) which are open at one end are disposed coaxially opposite each other at a distance, wherein the suction drums are rotatably mounted on a shaft (22) that is attached to the support element (20).

To make the drive of the compaction device more flexible, it is proposed that a second gearing stage (G2) is provided between the drive element (28, 29) of the compaction element (17) of the first gearing stage (G1) and the compaction element (17).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for compacting a sliver (V) on a spinning machine, the sliver being delivered by a pair of delivery rollers (7, 8) of a drafting system unit (2) to a suctioned guide surface of a suction zone (Z) of a subsequent driven, revolving compaction element (17) that is acted on by suction air. At least one rotatably supported nip roller (33) is associated with the compaction element downstream from the suction zone (Z) to form a nip line (P). To retrofit existing spinning machines with a compaction device, heretofore additional complex drive means have been installed, sometimes requiring a very high expenditure of time for installing such devices.
