<p>A guide bar drive in a knitting machine comprises a linear motor composed of stator and rotor, and a guide positioned adjacent the narrow side(s) and extending in longitudinal direction to support the rotor. The linear motor is greater in height than width. The stator has a length in longitudinal direction and includes narrow side. The rotor is structured and arranged in the stator for translational movement in the longitudinal direction. A guide bar drive in a knitting machine comprises a linear motor composed of stator (12) and rotor (16), and a guide positioned adjacent the narrow side and extending in the longitudinal direction to support the rotor. The linear motor is greater in height than width. The stator has a length in a longitudinal direction and including narrow side. The rotor is structured and arranged in the stator for translational movement in the longitudinal direction. An independent claim is also included for a method of driving a guide bar in a knitting machine, comprising coupling a guide bar to a moving coil of a linear motor; and translation ally moving the coil in a longitudinal direction of a stator having narrow side, while the coil is supported adjacent the narrow side.</p> |
