High-Frequency Yarn Tension Variations in Spinning

Abstract

A description of an experimental investigation of the variations in yarn tension during both ring and rotor open-end spinning which have frequencies equal to, or greater than, the rotational speed of the system is given. Typical results are illustrated and discussed both in terms of statistical parameters such as the coefficient of variation and in terms of their spectra. Tension variations during rotor spinning are shown to have, in general, a much less pronounced periodic structure then the corresponding variations during ring spinning.
