Abstract

A yarn tensioning system (1) for keeping at least one yarn (2) which is taken from a yarn storage system (3) to a yarn take-off system (4) of a weaving machine under tension, comprising a brake roller (5) around which the yarn (2) is at least partially wound and a motor (6) for supplying a torque to the brake roller (5), which is actuable in generator operation to keep the yarn (2) under tension between the brake roller (5) and the yarn take-off system (4). In addition, a weaving machine comprising such a yarn tensioning system (1) and a method for keeping at least one yarn (2) under tension which is taken from a yarn storage system to a yarn take-off system.
