Abstract

A yarn brake, particularly for textile machines, has a pivoted, low-inertia yarn drum that is wrapped several times by yarn in a slip-free manner in a yarn contact section and is non-rotatably secured to a low-inertia armature of a controllable electric motor which is driven by the moving yarn against its impressed sense of rotation.
