Abstract: The invention relates to a yarn feeding device (F) for weaving or knitting machines whose winding element (W) is driven by an electric motor (M) controlled by an electronic speed control device (CU). According to the invention, the electric motor (M) is a synchronous motor, in particular, a permanent magnet (PM) motor with the speed control device (CU) provided for effecting a permanent vector control with the stator being sinusoidally acted upon. Continuously determined information pertaining to the relevant rotational position of the rotor (R) of the motor (M) is used in the speed control device (CU), which serves to perform permanent vector control, in order to adjust at least one predetermined rotational position (X1, X2) of the winding element (W).
