Abstract
Guide bar drive in a knitting machine and method of driving guide bar. The drive includes a linear motor composed of a stator and a rotor, in which the linear motor is greater in height than width. The stator has a length in a longitudinal direction and includes at least one narrow side, and the rotor is structured and arranged in the stator for translational movement in the longitudinal direction. A guide rod is positioned adjacent the at least one narrow side and extending in the longitudinal direction to support the rotor. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
