Abstract
A device for controlling the creel (10) of a textile machine, which creel is pivotably seated by means of a pivot shaft to support a bobbin in frictional driven contact with a drive roller, is connected with a drive element for generating torque, e.g., a stepper motor or other device displaceable in angular steps or increments. A torque transducer is arranged between the creel and the drive element to convert the displacement of the drive element into a defined torque acting on the creel.
