Abstract
A shaft rod () having, particularly in its mid region, a particularly low mass. The shaft rod has an upper ledge () and a lower ledge () which have a reduced thickness in the mid region of the shaft rod. As a result, the load induced by acceleration forces is significantly less in the mid region than in conventional constructions. By virtue of the reduced acceleration forces, the extent of bending of the shaft rods in the middle is less and therefore a shaft rod of such a structure is better adapted for use in very rapidly operating weaving machines.
