An axial bearing for a spinning rotor of an open-end spinning machine includes a static bearing component having axially polarized permanent magnet rings delimited on both sides by ferromagnetic pole disks arranged in a bearing housing, the static bearing component interacting with a dynamic bearing component formed by ferromagnetic webs arranged on a rotor shaft of the spinning rotor. Each pole disk includes a disk ring, a central opening, a vertical axis, and a horizontal axis. The disk ring includes an area of reduced ferromagnetic material on an inner circumference thereof at the vertical axis as compared to a remaining inner circumferential area of the disk ring.

A method is provided for operating a textile machine, with a multiple number of adjacent work stations having a respective spinning unit with a spinning device and/or one winding device and handling elements for piecing a thread or for connecting two thread ends. If production is interrupted, a thread end on the bobbin side is provided to a defined receiving position at the work station. For piecing the thread or for connecting the thread ends, the thread end on the bobbin is cut to length by the work station work elements, received from the receiving position, prepared for piecing or for connecting and pieced up or connected. A thread end wound on the bobbin is sought out by means of a thread seeking device deliverable to multiple work stations of the textile machine, and the thread end is subsequently moved into the receiving position at the work station, from which it is received by the work station work element of the work station, in particular by a handling element of its own work station. A corresponding textile machine is also provided.

An air jet spinning machine for producing spun threads from staple fiber strands includes a number of spinning positions, to each of which compressed air nozzles are arranged for the purpose of generating the spinning twist. A joint compressed air regulator is connected upstream of the spinning positions, which regulator includes a pressure sensor and a regulating device. The compressed air regulator is set at a reference pressure, which corresponds to the unregulated static pressure prevailing when all spinning positions are in operation. In the case of a change in the static pressure, the compressed air regulator re-adjusts to the reference pressure.

A process is provided for optimizing the production performance of a spinning machine. Each individual spinning position is separately monitored in relation to the number of end breaks and is adjusted to an optimal production speed. When this process is applied to an air jet spinning machine, the compressed air fed to the spinning positions is adjusted depending on the respective production speed.

A process and an arrangement for re-starting a previously interrupted spinning process in a spinning arrangement is provided. The arrangement includes a drafting unit which can be shut down and also an airjet unit including a vacuum chamber. For the purpose of removing an initially inhomogeneous fiber stream, a staple fiber strand, delivered by the re-operating drafting unit, is temporarily suctioned as waste via a deflecting device after it has left the drafting unit. Only then, when a homogeneous fiber stream has formed, is the staple fiber strand joined with a thread which is transported through the airjet unit. The inhomogeneous fiber stream is removed with the aid of the low pressure in the vacuum chamber.

A process for preparing a piecing operation in an air jet spinning arrangement is described. The air jet spinning arrangement comprises a drafting device, whose main drafting zone is bordered on its entry side by an apron roller pair and on its exit side by a delivery roller pair. The apron roller pair is connected to a first drive, the delivery roller pair to a second drive. When the spinning process is interrupted, the delivery of a closed staple fiber strand is stopped in the main drafting zone and a new starting end of the staple fiber strand is created. This new starting end is to be pieced together with an end of a thread already spun. To create a new starting end of the staple fiber strand suitable for piecing, the apron roller pair and the delivery roller pair are each controlled separately when the spinning process is interrupted and are shut down one after the other, in such a way that in the main drafting zone a new starting end of the staple fiber strand is formed.

A twin unit has two drafting devices for drafting fiber strands and is applicable in a spinning machine. The twin unit includes a common housing for the two drivable drafting devices, whereby the housing is detachably mounted in a machine frame. The drafting devices include a number of drivable bottom rollers and are arranged essentially mirror-symmetrical to one another. Each bottom roller has an area which drafts the fiber strand and is characterized in that the bottom roller has two bearing points. The two bearing points of each bottom roller are arranged one on either side of the area which drafts the fiber strand. In one variation, at least two opposite bottom rollers may form a bottom roller pair, in which the bearing points facing to the plane of symmetry of the twin unit are taken up in a joint bearing take-up. In addition, a top roller in the form of a twin pressure roller may be assigned to a bottom roller pair.
