Carrier Element for a Compaction Device

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). So as to achieve simple and cost-effective production of the support element, it is proposed to design the support element (20) of two half shells (H1, H2) which form the suction channel (SK) and which are connected to each other by way of attachment means (48), wherein each of the half shells comprises an outwardly projecting tubular suction insert (18), the suction inserts being disposed coaxially opposite each other, and wherein each suction insert comprises at least one bearing element (G) that is provided with a passage (B) and comprises at least one brace (C), by way of which the shaft (22) is held in the radial direction.
