Question

Lowest Knitting tension at Knit point is found in

• A. 52° Non linear Cam
• B. 45° Linear Cam
• C. 52° Linear Cam
• D. 45° Non Linear Cam

Hint:

Non-linear cams reduce knitting tension by providing smooth needle acceleration.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Knitting tension at the knit point depends on cam angle and cam profile. A non-linear cam with higher angle (52°) provides smoother acceleration and deceleration of needle movement, reducing sudden stress and thus minimizing knitting tension at the knit point.

Step 1: Understand cam effect.
Cam angle and profile control needle motion.

Step 2: Compare profiles.

• Linear cam → constant motion change, higher shock
• Non-linear cam → smooth transition

Step 3: Identify lowest tension.
52° non-linear cam gives best smoothness.

Step 4: Final answer.
\[ \boxed{\text{52° Non linear Cam}} \] Thus, \[ \boxed{\text{Option (A) is correct.}} \]
