Product Overview

Lycra Guide Pulley for Circular Knitting Machines (Item 12) is listed in our lycra guide pulleys group for circular knitting machine maintenance. Guide pulleys and wheels that carry elastane from the lycra feeder to the needle line at a controlled draft.

What This Part Does

Elastane is fed under draft, which means the delivered length is deliberately shorter than the length the fabric will take. That draft is set by the drive wheel diameter and the feeder rate, and it is held by the guide pulleys that carry the yarn on its way to the needle.

A pulley that no longer turns freely, or that has a worn groove, changes the tension in the elastane. The result is fabric that varies in width, weight and recovery across the roll.

Key Benefits

Free running pulleys keep elastane tension steady along the yarn path
Groove profiles suited to fine elastane yarn
Wheels available in the diameters used to set draft
Low cost parts that protect an expensive yarn

Application Scenarios

Elastane plating on single jersey machines
Lycra feeding on rib and interlock machines
Sock and seamless machines with elastane positions
Sportswear and underwear fabric production

Who It Is For

Mills knitting elastane blends
Sportswear and underwear fabric producers
Maintenance teams servicing lycra feed systems

Problems It Solves

Fabric width and weight drifting across a roll
Elastane breaks at a seized or grooved pulley
Recovery varying between machines running the same quality

Use Guide

Confirm the reference against the old part and the machine plate before ordering a full machine set.
Order one complete set per machine where the part is fitted in multiples, so wear is even across the fabric.
Clean the mounting position before fitting. Fly and old oil are the most common cause of a new part not seating.
Check the machine on a short run and measure the fabric before returning it to full production.
Record the reference against the machine so the next reorder does not have to be identified again.
