Tension Force Regulator of Fine-winding Materials

This paper describes a new method (apparatus) for regulation the tension force of winding thread, which is used in textile industry. The suggested facility is very simple and it does not require a power supply. It consists of metal cylinder, cone, cup filled with liquid, lever, pulley, and other simple components. In this facility the pulley and the lever play the role of the feedback element for the tension force signal. At the same time this lever is used as actuator to improve the tension force of the winding thread. The suggested device is provided by an adjusting element to set the tension force at the required reference value.
