traveller weights for vertical- and conical ring
Compared to the spinning of short staple fibres,

such as Cotton, Polyester, Rayon and their blends,
long staple fibre spinning and twisting of all kind of
threads is done on lubricated rings. Wool and other
long staple fibres have relatively high micronaire
values and are not able to create a fibre lubrication
film on the ring. The same effect we have on twists
or filaments.

Glass filament quality control
The task of rings and travellers remains: imparting

the twist, creating a tension and winding the yarn or
twist on a cop or bobbin.
Since this ring/traveller system is actively lubricated,
the tension control does not depend on fibre
lubrication respectively on the fibre type. The ring
type, its lubrication and the lubricant in use are
more important in these processes.
Still of high importance is the shape of traveller
and its weight.
Twists resulting mainly in coarse counts and hence
heavy travellers are in use. The high traveller speeds
of such heavy travellers create high ring loads. On
the other hand heavy steel travellers are difficult to
insert and remove from the rings. Steel travellers for
coarse counts are replaced by NYLTEX travellers.
The used Nylon (PA 6.6) has a higher coefficient of
friction and lighter travellers can be used, creating
still the requested tension.
Steel travellers are mostly used for worsted,

semi-worsted and acrylic spinning and fine
count twisting.
NYLTEX travellers are mostly used for heavier
yarn count spinning and twisting and are a must
for flax spinning and glass filament twisting.

Recommendations for
spinning of long staple
fibres on conical rings
Steel travellers for fine

to medium yarn counts
NYLTEX travellers for
medium to coarse
yarn counts
The traveller shape,
especially the yarn path,
has to be chosen according
to the yarn count and type.
Consider enough space
when producing bulky yarns.

Influence of the traveller shape and its contact on the ring

Conical rings have straight or convex raceways.
In order to obtain the optimum contact ring/traveller
during running, the right ring/traveller combination
must be selected:
For synthetics and their blends

The SU ring/traveller system is suitable for the
processing of synthetics (PAC, CV, PES) and fibre
blends (pre-condition is, however, a significant
proportion of synthetics) in the medium to coarse
yarn count range. In some cases where conical,
lubricated rings are in use, they can be replaced
by the SU ring / traveller system.

Example:
Unfavourable Combination:

small contact areas
Favourable Combination:

no contact
Acrylic yarns can also be processed on

SU-rings, with an oblique flange and special
shaped SU steel travellers. For this system
no additional lubricants need to be applied.

Wet flax / linen spinning
Wet flax /
linen spinning
We distinguish in the linen spinning, between dry- and wetprocessed yarns. Longer staple fibres are mostly wet spun,
while shorter fibres run through a different process and are
dry-spun. The wet spinning process is made on rust-resistant
flange rings and NYLTEX travellers.
NYLTEX travellers F-series
15
Wet flax spinning requires non corrosive

travellers. Brcker NYLTEX F-series travellers
with special design are the solution for this
special application. All NYLTEX travellers for
wet flax spinning are glassfibre reinforced.

the wet spinning of flax fibres over the full
yarn count range. The TRITON surface
coating combines abrasion and chemical
wear resistance. The coating features the
following advantages:
Smooth and even surface properties thus low
end down rate, long traveller life and excellent
yarn quality
High wear resistance against abrasion
Long ring service life
Favourable price/performance ratio
High resistance TRITON layer
The TRITON ring replaces the conventional stainless

steel (INOX) rings and can be supplied in the most
used dimensions.

Twisting
General twisting
Twisting
General twisting
Twisting
The twisting process is usually carried out on vertical
HZ sinter metal rings and NYLTEX and STEELTEX
travellers, since mostly heavier counts are processed.
Only finer counts are twisted with steel travellers.
For twisting, carpet yarn spinning

and draw-twisting
STEELTEX travellers with metal insert

for optimal wear resistance
Polyamid (NYLON) has a higher coefficient

of friction than steel. This means NYLTEX and
STEELTEX travellers can create sufficient yarn
tension with lower traveller weight.
Advantages of NYLON travellers
less load and wear on spinning rings
higher speeds and longer traveller life
easy inserting and removing of heavy travellers
NYLTEX produced from recycle-free
compounds
Brcker uses only first grade compounds for the
production of NYLTEX and STEELTEX travellers.
The following two qualities are in use:
Lubridur
Fine structured compound for increased
gliding properties
This quality is in use for twists with normal
abrasion tendency and for twisting and
doubling of delicate yarns
R reinforced
Compound reinforced with glass fibres
The higher stiffness of this material prevents
pull-off of the travellers at start (mainly with
light travellers)
The wear resistance against abrasive yarns
is increased
R reinforced
The extra hard metal insert in the yarn path

features an outstanding wear resistance
Prevention of filament damages
Extended traveller life when twisting or
doubling abrasive yarns or filaments
Guarantees perfect yarn quality over an
extremely long traveller life
Mainly used in carpet yarn spinning,
draw-twisting and for expensive special
yarns and filaments
For draw twisting see page 28

Characteristics
The sintered ring has a porous metal structure.
Microscopic, interconnected pores contain
oil, which is transported by capillary effect and
thermal support to the ring surface.

Advantages of sinter rings

Sinter rings provide a controlled, continuous oil
supply on the entire bearing surface.
This system offers the following features:
The lubricated rings are manufactured from sinter

metal. The porous structure of the sinter metal
guarantees optimum distribution of the oil over
the entire traveller running track.

Function
When travellers start to run, the friction between
travellers and rings generates heat. This heat
expands the oil and it emerges from the pores
to the running surface and provides the necessary
lubrication. The system is self-adjusting; the higher
the friction, the higher the oil flow and therefore
the stronger the lubrication effect.
Application
Sinter metal rings are specially designed to produce
man made fibres, mainly filaments. NYLTEX and
STEELTEX travellers should exclusively be used.
Steel travellers should only be used for fine counts.
Quality
The density of the sintered metal is adapted to the
use of NYLTEX and STEELTEX travellers to ensure
optimum oil flow over the full traveller running area.
26
Twisting
General twisting
Lubrication
Before use, the sintered metal rings must be
impregnated. The regular oil supply comes from
a tank, integrated in the ring holder, transported
by a wick surrounding the ring. There are two
lubricating systems:
Installation
Sintered metal rings are impregnated and packed
individually in plastic bags. Remove the rings just
before mounting in the ring holders. Do not wipe
the oil, nor use any solvent. Fill up the lubrication
reservoir with oil and wait 12 to 24 hours before
starting.
S.E. (external)
Running-in
Since NYLTEX or STEELTEX travellers are on
sintered metal rings in use, no special running-in
procedure is required. However, check the
following points:
Wick
S.I. (internal)
Rubber
Wick
Whenever possible, use S. E. system (more flexibility

in diameter but depends also on the ring holder).
Use the regular traveller weight

Make the first traveller change after two doffs
and check the traveller wear (wear pattern
and wear rate).
- If normal values are reached,
go to normal schedule.
- If wear pattern is abnormal,
check oil flow or change
traveller weight
Check oil flow after 24 and 48 hours:
- When too much oil is noted,
increase oil viscosity
- If not enough is protruding,
reduce oil viscosity
General twisting
Maintenance
Depending on the working conditions, sintered
metal rings must be re-impregnated. It is
recommended when unusual traveller wear or
uneven yarn tension is noticed. Impregnation
by warm oil (most popular method):
Remove the old wicks and clean the rings
from visible dirt
Immerse the rings in a tank with warm oil
(90C to 110C).
- Present air in the pores, oil and residues
are pressed out (overpressure)
Cool down to room temperature
Change oil
Heat oil and rings to 90C to 110C
- The old oil and remaining residues
are pressed out
Cool down to room temperature
- The pores are refilled with fresh oil
- The rings are ready for re-wicking (special
instruction brochure is available on request)

Twisting

Single twisted yarns, coming directly from the spinning or single and multiplied
twist process, for the down stream processes such as weaving, knitting or coating.
The classical draw-twisting with rings and

travellers is the subsequent process after the
spinning of PA and PES filaments to give them
the necessary orientation and strength for
further processings. The bundle of filaments gets
fixed and some minimal twists before unwinding
on bobbins. The draw-twisting is processed
on vertical sinter metal rings and steel or
STEELTEX travellers.
Draw twisting of filaments requires special treatment
of the travellers yarn path. Through the high delivery
speeds due to low twist, abrasion in the yarn path
is increased. To prevent filament breaks, Brcker
recommends to use the following special travellers.

Rings for glass filament twisting

Rings produced from porous sinter metal are in
use for glass filament twisting. The continous oil
flow assures an even twisting tension over the
full bobbin filling.

Lubricating systems S. I. and S. E. are available for
sinter metal rings. In order to avoid any soiling of the
produced yarn, the S. I. system is recommended.

Brcker supplies sinter metal rings for ring heights
4.8 to 16.7 mm in all the common dimensions.

Glass filament quality control

The quality control described below is normally
done visually on full spools in backlight. This kind
of checking shows only faults on the surface,
therefore it is recommended to do also tests on
full spools (unwinding) or using quality data from
downstream processes. Control parameters are
not standardized.
The following parameters are checked

by the glassfibre twists producer:
Hairiness
Number of filament breaks
Loop
Unwinding problems (curling twist)
Protruding fibres
Accumulation of fibres (soiling)

Brcker NYLTEX travellers are numbered in the ISO system only!
Traveller speed in m/s

VT = d x x n

60 x 1000
Valid for J and HZ steel travellers up to ring height of 17.4 mm.

The ISO number is the weight of 1000 travellers in grams,
respectively of 1 traveller in milligrams.
The ISO number garantees an even percental grading:
100 + 12.5 % + 12.5 % + 12.5 % etc.
Spindle speed in n/min

n = VT x 60 x 1000

Running-in of solid steel and sintered rings
Lubricants for self-lubricating rings
Instruction is supplied with every ring order

confirmation and ring shipment.
General
A ring running-in must only be carried out when
steel travellers are used. It does not apply when
Nyltex/Steeltex travellers are used. However
it has to be done subsequently, should steel
travellers be used later on.
42
Preparation
After installation in the ring rails, the rings must be
cleaned with an oily cloth from the rust protection
oil (do not use solvents).
Do not cut off or remove the slightly protruding
wicks (steel rings). These will be cut off from the
travellers during the first rotations.
Select the oil type according to the application
Fill up the lubrication channels with oil and wait
12 to 24 hours before starting.
Yarn type, traveller weight

Use insensitive, dark coloured yarns since
oil splashes are unavoidable during the
running-in phase.
Use the normal traveller weight

Coefficient of friction
NYLTEX travellers have, compared to steel travellers a 2 to 3 time higher coefficient of
friction, this means, a NYLTEX traveller creates with a lower weight sufficient spinning /
twisting tension. This bears the following advantages:
Lower ring load (specially when processing heavy counts)
Easier inserting and removing of travellers
Higher traveller speeds
Less ring wear
Smoother traveller running and hence, better yarn quality and low end-down rates.

Traveller weight ISO
A NYLTEX traveller with a weight of 315 mg creates

the same friction as a steel traveller of 800 mg
(the coefficient of friction in practice may vary due
to lubrication, environment etc).
Steel travellers can be replaced by NYLTEX travellers,
using a nylon traveller weight of approx. 40% - 50%
of steel traveller weight.
