Groove Engineering

Why T Groove for This Application

The T Groove profile is engineered for fine cotton, viscose, modal, blends.

T

T Groove — Precision Fibre Control for Target Yarn

The T Groove geometry creates a controlled deposition zone inside the rotor, ensuring fine cotton, viscose, modal, blends are uniformly distributed and twisted. This translates to higher yarn evenness (lower CV%) and fewer thin/thick places compared to generic groove profiles.

Superior Fibre Opening

The G groove’s wider entry angle ensures complete fibre separation before twist insertion, reducing neps and improving yarn appearance at Ne 6–30.

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 by 15–25% compared to non-optimized groove designs at equivalent speeds.

Self-Cleaning Geometry

The groove’s parabolic cross-section prevents micro-dust accumulation — a common root cause of moiré and periodic faults in continuous long-run production.

Surface Engineering

BD Boronized vs. DN Diamond Coating

Choose the right coating for your production environment. Both available from our in-house treatment line.

BD — Boronized
Current model · Standard coating
HV 1600–2000
Cost-effective Standard cotton Up to 100K rpm

Thermochemical diffusion process forms a hard boride layer (FeB/Fe₂B) on the substrate. Excellent wear resistance at a competitive price. Ideal for standard cotton and cotton-blend production where cost-per-kg is a priority.

DN — Diamond
Premium upgrade · Available on request
HV 1000-1200
3–5× longer life Abrasive fibres 110K+ rpm

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.

Compatibility

Which Schlafhorst Machines Use T 636 BD?

Bearing Series 6 rotors fit SE20 / A8-A11 generation Autocoro machines (Autocoro 480 / ACO 8 / Autocoro 11). If your machine is from a different generation, see the equivalent groove-type models on our catalog page.

Autocoro 240
SE7 generation · Up to 240 spinning positions · Bearing Series 1 · Introduced early 2000s. Still widely operated in South Asia, Turkey, and Latin America.
Autocoro 288
SE8 generation · Up to 288 positions · Refined rotor drive system. Same bearing platform as SE7 with improved machine control electronics.
Autocoro 312 / 360
⚠️ NOT directly compatible — these are SE9/SE10 (Bearing Series 3). Use G 331 BD instead.
Autocoro 480 / ACO 8
⚠️ NOT directly compatible — these are SE20 (Bearing Series 6). Use G 626 BD instead.
