Circular Knitting Machine Sinkers | Page 6

Sinkers hold the fabric down while the needle rises and clears, then help cast off the old loop. Loop length, fabric weight and stitch appearance all depend on the sinker profile you fit.

Sinkers Questions

How do I identify the right sinker for my machine?

Start with the reference stamped on the old sinker, then confirm machine builder, model, diameter and gauge. If nothing is legible, send a flat photo of the old part beside a ruler and we will match it against the profiles we stock.

Should I change the whole set at once?

Yes for a worn machine. Mixing new and worn sinkers in the same ring puts different loop lengths in the same fabric, which shows as vertical lines.

How many sinkers does one machine take?

One per needle, so the quantity equals the needle count of the cylinder. Order a small overage for handling losses during fitting.

Can you supply sinkers for terry and plush machines?

Yes. Terry sinkers are listed separately because the loop step on the belly sets the pile height, so the profile has to match the machine and the pile you knit.

Do you keep the original brand sinkers as well?

Branded sinkers are listed under a separate group in this catalogue so you can choose between a branded and a general replacement.

Builder, model, diameter and gauge, plus a photo of the old part. That is all we need to match it.
