Abstract

The invention relates to a circular knitting machine with a replaceable needle cylinder (7). According to the invention, two or more eccentrics (19) are disposed to be rotatable in a support ring (3) for the needle cylinder (7) or in the needle cylinder itself, and serve the purpose of lifting the needle cylinder (7) out of a normal operating position into a mounting position enabling it to be pulled out laterally, in which an underside of said needle cylinder (7) is arranged at least to be flush with an upper edge of attachments (9) attached to the support ring (3) or elsewhere (FIG. 2).
