Abstract
The invention relates to a device for compensating the differences in thermal expansion of the needle cylinder and sinker ring in a circular knitting machine, with which the sinker ring is supported on projections of webs inserted into axially extending grooves in the needle cylinder. In order to compensate for the differences in thermal expansion, the top region of the needle cylinder is designed to be radially displaceable relative to the sinker ring.
