Title Reduction of noise from rotating textile spindles
Bibliographic information Apr. 1972, Vol.33, No.4, p.252-257. Illus.
Abstract Textile spindles are said to be responsible for about 80% of the total noise generated in spinning and twisting operations. Noise levels in textile yarn spinning generally exceed 90dBA; most of this noise is due to vibrations caused by unbalanced loads concentrated outside of bearing supports and is transmitted to machine frames and radiated to the air. Experiments were carried out by adding weight to pindle bolsters; this resulted in substantial vibration reduction, but in no corresponding noise reduction at a distance of 60cm from the spindle.
