Abstract
A method and apparatus for preventing that an open-end spinning rotor becomes inoperative. In an open-end spinning rotor assembly which has a rotor with a fiber collecting groove and a rotor shaft, it is provided that the operability of the open-end spinning rotor after the wearing-out of the rotor shaft in the are of the step bearing surface is restored by the fact that the distance between the fiber collecting groove and the step bearing surface is restored to its predetermined value by the axial shifting of the shaft in the hub of the rotor plate.
Claims12
A method for preventing the inoperatability of an open-end spinning rotor assembly which has a rotor with a fiber collecting groove and a hub into which a front end of a rotor shaft is pressed, the opposite free rear end of the rotor shaft exhibiting a step bearing surface which is arranged at a predetermined distance to the fiber collecting groove, said method comprising restoring the distance between the fiber collecting groove and the step bearing surface to a predetermined distance after the wearing-out of the step bearing surface by axial shifting of the rotor shaft front end in the hub of the rotor.
Open-end spinning apparatus comprising:
- a spinning rotor shaft with a front end supporting said spinning rotor,
- and a step bearing supporting the rear end of the spinning rotor shaft opposite the spinning rotor with the fiber collecting groove a predetermined distance from the step bearing rear end of the spinning rotor shaft, said spinning rotor including a rotor hub with an opening for accommodating the front end of the spinning rotor shaft,
- wherein said rotor shaft is disposed in the hub to be axially displaceable relative to the hub to accommodate restoration of said predetermined distance after wearing of the step bearing rear end of the rotor shaft.
