Apparatus for open-end spinning

摘要

In an open-end spinning apparatus including a rotatably mounted break-up roller member and a rotatably mounted spinning rotor member, only one of the members is directly driven while the other member is not directly connected to any drive unit and is indirectly driven by forces produced by the directly driven member while the two members are prevented from physically contacting one another. Preferably, one member carries a multiple-pole magnet and the other member is made of electrically conductive material.
