Abstract

The shaft of a spinning rotor is journaled for rotation on pairs of rollers, and is urged against the rollers by a drive belt. The end of the shaft away from the rotor has a taper fitted into a corresponding taper of the central hole of a rolling bearing. The shaft may be held in the bearing by a permanent magnet spaced from the end of the shaft, or by an O-ring engaging grooves in extended portions of this shaft and bearing inner ring.
