Why T Groove for Your Yarn Count Target
The T Groove is engineered for cotton, viscose, modal and medium-to-fine blends.
T Groove — Applicable Yarn Count Range
For coarse counts (Ne 3–16), consider the GT groove.
T Groove coverage (Ne 16–40)
T Groove — Precision Fibre Control for Target Yarn
The T Groove geometry creates a controlled deposition zone inside the rotor, ensuring cotton, viscose, modal and medium-to-fine blends are uniformly distributed and twisted. This translates to higher yarn evenness (lower CV%) and fewer thin/thick places — critical for target count production.
Optimized for Ne 16–40
The T Groove’s geometry is calibrated for cotton, viscose, modal and medium-to-fine blends, delivering stable fibre separation and consistent yarn formation across the full Ne 16–40 (medium to fine) range.
Consistent Yarn Evenness
Stable fibre deposition zone produces CV% values consistently below Uster 25% benchmarks, critical for downstream knitting and weaving quality.
Reduced End Breakage
Optimized twist propagation path reduces spinning tension peaks, lowering end-break rates and improving machine efficiency on SE11/SE12 platforms.
Self-Cleaning Geometry
The groove’s parabolic cross-section prevents micro-dust accumulation — a root cause of periodic faults and moiré patterns in long-run production.
BD Boronized vs. DN Diamond Coating
Both coatings available from our in-house treatment line. Choose based on fibre type and speed requirements.
Thermochemical diffusion process forms a hard boride layer (FeB/Fe₂B) on the substrate. Excellent wear resistance at a competitive price. Ideal for standard cotton production where cost-per-kg is the priority.
CVD diamond-like carbon coating delivering extreme surface hardness. Recommended for abrasive fibres (recycled cotton, coloured cotton, viscose blends), high-speed production, and mills targeting maximum uptime and longest service intervals.
Which Schlafhorst Machines Use T 133 BD?
Bearing Series 1 rotors fit SE7 / SE8 generation Autocoro machines (Autocoro 240 / 288). Other generations require different spec numbers.
