Product Overview

Tape Tensioners for Circular Knitting Machines. is listed in our tape tensioners group for circular knitting machine maintenance. Single and double layer tape tensioners and tightening wheel sets that hold the drive belt at the correct tension around the machine.

What This Part Does

The positive feeders are driven by a toothed belt that runs around the machine. If that belt is slack it slips, and every feeder then delivers slightly less yarn than it was set to. A tape tensioner takes up the slack and holds the belt in constant contact with the feeder wheels.

Because feeder delivery is what sets loop length, belt tension is not a minor adjustment. It is one of the settings that decides fabric weight.

Key Benefits

Holds constant belt tension so feeder delivery does not drift
Single and double layer types for different belt arrangements
Supplied with the common tightening wheel sets and accessories
Simple mechanical part that protects loop length consistency

Application Scenarios

Positive feeder drive belts on circular knitting machines
Machines with two belt layers driving separate feeder groups
Belt replacement and machine reassembly

Who It Is For

Maintenance teams servicing feeder drives
Mills chasing fabric weight variation
Machine rebuilders

Problems It Solves

Belt slip lowering delivered yarn length without an obvious fault
Feeder wheels wearing unevenly from a belt running slack
Fabric weight drifting after a belt change

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.

Tape Tensioners Questions

How tight should the belt be?

Tight enough that it does not slip on the feeder wheels, and no tighter. Over tensioning wears the wheels and the belt. Set it, then confirm loop length on the fabric.

What is the difference between single and double layer?

A double layer arrangement drives two belt levels, usually to feed different feeder groups at different rates. The tensioner has to match that arrangement.
