Abstract: A guide rod assembly for a Jacquard loom is described which is narrower (10 mm or less), instead of 13 mm of conventional guide rods. This reduction in width is attained reducing the overall height of the magnet system integrated in the guide rod. The magnet system has a support member in the form of an iron core with an elongated or oval cross-section, with an excitation coil wound around the iron core. Pole strips are in contact with both front faces of the iron core. The respective top surfaces of the pole strips are spaced apart by less than 13 mm.
