Abstract: In the case of a spinning or twisting spindle to be arranged vertically, having a spindle shaft which is disposed in a spindle bearing housing by means of a step bearing and a bolster which is constructed as a roller bearing, it is provided that the rollers of the roller bearing are guided such that, at least when the spindle shaft rotates, they are aligned diagonally with respect to the axis of the spindle shaft in such a manner that they exercise an axial thrust in the direction of the step bearing on the spindle shaft.
Abstract: In the case of a false-twisting nozzle for pneumatic false-twist spinning having a nozzle body formed of one or several segments, it is provided that, for the reduction of the cross-section of the outlet opening of the blow duct, at least one part of its interior wall is provided with a coating.
Abstract: For a spinning or twisting spindle, a holding device is provided which comprises a pin made of a spinning-elastic material which is an extension of the spindle bearing housing, the cross-section of the pin being smaller than the cross-section of the spindle bearing housing and the pin forming a point of discontinuity.
Abstract: In the case of a drafting unit for a spinning machine having a drafting zone, which is delimited by two pairs of rollers each consisting of top rollers and bottom rollers and in which an apron guide is located, it is provided that the diameter of at least the bottom roller of the following pair of rollers is smaller than the diameter of the bottom roller of the preceding pair of rollers.
Abstract: A fiber feed arrangement for an open-end friction spinning machines is disclosed. The fiber distribution zone in the wedge-shaped yarn forming gap formed by the friction rollers is configured in its size and/or its location relative to the friction rollers in dependence on the fiber length being processed and/or the desired yarn characteristic. In preferred embodiments the distribution zone is adjustable by means of at least one separate movable feed channel component in the area of the feed channel opening to the friction rollers.
