PCT No. PCT/EP96/04054 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 6, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 6, 1998 PCT Filed Sep. 16, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/11016 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 27, 1997A device for controlling the tension of a yarn includes a gauge measuring tension of the yarn and optionally a brake driven by the tension gauge to vary braking of the yarn. The gauge comprises electromagnetic control means having a moveable control element subject to a force dependent on the tension of the yarn, and a control circuit. The latter circuit supplies the electromagnetic control means with a current so that the moveable control element remains virtually still in a given position, during variations of the yarn tension. This current is indicative of the tension of the yarn and is measured to obtain a measure of the yarn tension. The device can be associated with a yarn feeder having a drum and moveable eyelet coaxial with the drum.
