Open-end spinning device for an open-end spinning machine and open-end spinning machine

Abstract

An open-end spinning device for an open-end spinning machine includes an individually drivable spinning rotor having a rotor cup accommodated in a rotor housing. An individual drive for the spinning rotor arranged in a drive housing. A receptacle for a cover element that closes the rotor housing during spinning operations is provided. The rotor housing defines a central support part fixable to a machine frame of the open-end spinning machine. The rotor housing is formed as one piece with the drive housing and the receptacle for the cover element.
