Rings

A. B. Carter offers a wide range of ring styles, sizes and finishes for short and long staple ring spinning. All rings are manufactured using the highest quality materials for unparalleled consistency and service life. Vertical (HZ) steel, conical (J) and sintered metal ring lubrication systems are also available for spinning and twisting operations that require oil ring systems.

AB Carter Inc. has the pleasure of introducing a NEW ERA of chrome plated rings, Royal Rings. With our team of engineers and specialized technicians, AB Carter developed Royal Rings with the following characteristics:

High level of quality coating consistency
Most advanced chrome plating technology
Minimal standard deviation among rings
Unmatched surface ﬁnish consistency
Optimum Coating adhesion

Features and Benefits

Longer ring life in comparison to other chrome rings
Traveler break-In cycles are reduced for most applications
Increase in traveler’s performance even in the most demanding environment
Consistent yarn quality throughout the life of the ring
Reduces yarn hairiness
Appropriate for any type of raw material

Our Metro rings (black in color) are designed for use in medium speed applications on all fiber types and counts. These rings offer an excellent quality/price ratio and are available for any brand of spinning frame.

Features and Benefits

Made from the best high carbon-high chrome steel to ensure increased hardness (HRC 60-64), which equates to excellent wear resistance.
Smooth, micro-porous surface provides excellent sliding properties, which accelerates the formation of the required fiber lubrication film creating an ideal traveler running path.
Good resistance to corrosion.

Conical rings are supplied for worsted and semi-worsted spinning applications as well as for twisting coarser filament yarns and specialty yarns. These rings are available in several heights with different lubrication systems to suit the varying spinning/twisting requirements.

Features and Benefits

Manufactured from the best high carbon-high chrome core hardened steel which ensures excellent wear resistance.
Special low-roughness polished finished surface to ensure consistent performance and yarn quality.
Special Conical/Concave design which allows the optimum ring and traveler contact.

Sintered metal vertical rings are supplied for many different industrial yarn twisting applications (fiberglass twisting, carpet and tire cord twisting, industrial yarn twisting and draw twisting.) These rings are available in many different heights with different lubrication systems to suit the varying machine requirements.

Features and Benefits

Our sintered metal rings are made from the highest quality raw materials and manufacturing technology to ensure excellent performance in the most demanding working conditions.
Extra hard finish combined with a smooth surface to ensure long life and consistent traveler performance.
All rings have an interconnected porosity to ensure the proper oil flow from the oil reservoir through the ring up to the traveler running path.

MATERIAL TYPES

NYLON 4: Specifically designed for nylon traveler applications including spinning and twisting of carpet yarns, tire cord, sewing threads, coarse fiberglass and polypropylene yarns.
NYLON 5: Specifically designed for use of medium to fine count fiberglass yarns. Ring is supplied with a special cotton wick.
STEEL 1: Designed for steel traveler applications in twisting worsted, semi-worsted and blended yarns.
