Flyer presser for ELECTRO JET 16x6 speed-frame configurations.

Product details

ELECTRO JET 16x6 pressure finger

Delivers precise roving tension and package buildup at high speeds. Built for speed-frame flyer assemblies.

Product: Flyer pressure finger
Model: ELECTRO JET 16x6
Machine make / frame type: Electro-Jet Roving Frame
Package size / mounting: 16" × 6" Lift/Diameter

Technical characteristics

Material: High-grade alloy steel, forged mild steel, or lightweight aluminum alloy.
Surface Coating & Finish: Hard Chrome Plating / Nickel Plating: Minimizes roving friction and prevents surface wear. Black Oxide / Powder Coating: Provides corrosion resistance and extended operational life.
Dynamic Balancing: Individually balanced to operate at speeds up to 1200–1500 RPM without flyer vibration.
Primary Function: Maintains steady, uniform pressing tension on the roving as it winds onto the bobbin, ensuring high package density and clean unwinding at the ring frame.

The 16x6 code is the package, not a style number: as this page's details record, it denotes a 16-inch lift on a 6-inch diameter build, for Electro-Jet roving frames. On those frames the Pressure Finger rides the flyer and lays roving onto the bobbin under steady pressure, and the 6-inch package is the lighter build of the two Electro-Jet sizes in this range — the duty where clean, even pressing matters most, because there is less package mass to forgive a wandering finger. The finger is individually balanced for the 1,200–1,500 RPM flyer speeds in the specification, and is supplied in alloy steel, forged mild steel or lightweight aluminium alloy, with hard-chrome or nickel plating at the roving contact.

Pressure Finger — Electro Jet 16X6 — Frequently Asked Questions

What is a pressure finger?

This flyer presser guides roving onto the bobbin. Match the flyer reference, presser dimensions, bobbin size and machine configuration when ordering a replacement.

Which machine does the Electro Jet 16x6 pressure finger fit?

It is made to the original Electro Jet 16x6 dimensions for a direct replacement fit.

When should a pressure finger be replaced?

Replace a pressure finger if its yarn-contact surface is badly scored, the arm is cracked or deformed, the mounting is loose, or uneven bobbin build persists after the setting has been checked. Inspect the stopped machine and match the replacement to the existing flyer and presser reference.

Do you supply in bulk and export?

Yes. We supply mill-quantity lots and export to 87 countries.

How do I know whether my Electro-Jet frame takes the 16x6 or the 16x7 Pressure Finger?

Measure the package the frame builds: the code follows the bobbin build — a 16-inch lift with a 6-inch diameter takes the 16x6, while the 7-inch diameter build takes the 16x7. If no bobbin is available to measure, send a photograph of the fitted finger beside a scale, or the old finger itself, and the pattern will be identified before quoting.

What wears out first on a 16x6 Pressure Finger?

The roving contact face. Once the plating is polished through or grooved, friction rises, pressing turns uneven and bobbin density begins to vary from layer to layer. Inspect the contact face under good light: visible grooving, or a finger that no longer sits square on the flyer, is the signal to replace rather than adjust.
