Abstract
A plurality of control magnetic poles-are provided in each selection unit of a selection actuator, and the upstream control magnetic polesand downstream control magnetic polesare controlled independently based on the relative positions thereof to selectors. The selectors can be selected with a pitch approximately half the pitch at which selection is possible with the conventional selection actuator and the time used for selecting each selector can be extended. Therefore, a knitting member can be reliably selected even in a fine-gauge knitting machine.
