Circular Knitting Machine Spare Parts for Textile Machinery
Textile and clothing machine spare parts — what the part does, how to specify it, and the companies that supply it.
A circular knitting machine is a ring of precision parts all wearing at once: needles and sinkers by the thousand, cams, cylinders and dials, feeders metering yarn to every feed, and the creel feeding it all. Spare parts for these machines are a trade of their own, with specialist manufacturers who make nothing else. Keeping the right spares on the shelf — and knowing which supplier covers which part family — is what keeps a knitting plant's machines earning instead of standing.

The Main Spare-Part Families
Yarn feeding is one family: positive feeders that supply two or more yarn types at different tensions simultaneously (for striper and jacquard machines), Lycra feeders for elastane yarns, and the creel stands that hold the packages. The knitting elements are another: cylinders, dials and sinker rings, cams and camboxes, needles, sinkers and jacks. Around them sit the support items — testing equipment such as sample cutters, weight scales, swatch cutters, magnifiers, tension meters, yarn length meters and cleaning guns. Jen-Haur of Taiwan, listed below and established in 1976, has built its name as a leading circular knitting machine spare parts manufacturer across exactly these families.
Cylinder and dial specialists such as Peverada cover the precision heart of the machine, producing cylinders, dials and sinker rings from 10-inch to 42-inch diameter in any gauge.
Stocking Spares for a Knitting Plant
A sensible spares shelf follows wear rates: needles, sinkers and belts in depth; feeders, feeder parts and creel parts per machine type; and long-lead precision parts — cylinders, dials, cam sets — either stocked or sourced from a supplier whose range is known in advance. Parts are always specified by machine make, model, diameter and gauge; a part that is nearly right is wrong, because knitting tolerances are measured in hundredths of a millimetre. Supplier catalogues in this section are organised by part family, so the pages for feeders, creel stands, cylinders and dials can each be used to source that family in depth.
Companies Supplying Circular Knitting Machine Spare Parts
Jen-Haur Company
Jen-Haur Company (Taiwan), established in 1976, is a leading circular knitting machine spare parts manufacturer, with decades of experience and development behind its range. Main products include multi-function positive feeders that supply two or more different types of yarn with different tension at the same time (for striper or jacquard machines), positive feeders with horizontal feeding devices, aluminium-alloy positive feeders for micro-fibre with an auto-clean function, and Lycra feeders that assemble with different parts for different functions. The company also supplies testing equipment — sample cutters, weight scales, swatch cutters, magnifiers, tension meters, yarn length meters and cleaning guns — and creel stands: side, vertical and vertical tube creels, with accessories.

Common Questions
Which circular knitting spares wear fastest?
Needles and sinkers first — they are consumables counted in thousands per machine — followed by feeder components, belts and cam tracks. Cylinders and dials wear slowly but are long-lead precision parts.
How are knitting machine parts specified?
Always by machine make and model, diameter and gauge, plus the part's position where relevant. Knitting tolerances are very fine, so near-enough dimensions are not acceptable.
What does a positive feeder do that a simple feeder cannot?
It meters yarn positively at a set rate and can supply two or more yarn types at different tensions at once — essential for striper and jacquard machines and for controlled Lycra feeding.
