Abstract
A textile machine has a machine frame with a first and a second end. Spindles are connected to the machine frame in two parallel rows extending in the longitudinal direction. A first tangential drive belt arrangement for driving the spindles of the first row includes a first tangential drive belt and two first shafts positioned at the first and second ends and having a first pulley connected thereto. The first tangential drive belt extends between the first and second ends and is guided about the first pulleys. A second tangential drive belt arrangement for driving the spindles of the second row includes a second tangential drive belt and two second shafts, positioned at the first and second ends and having a second pulley connected thereto. The second tangential drive belt extends between the first and second ends and is guided about the second pulleys. Two drive motors are positioned at the first and second ends. The first drive motor has a coupling device for engaging the first or second tangential drive belt arrangement. The second drive motor has a coupling device for engaging the first or second tangential drive belt arrangement not engaged by the first drive motor.
