The 0940N Self-Hold Yarn Carrier Solenoid is a specialized component for computerised flat knitting machines, responsible for controlling yarn delivery and maintaining consistent yarn tension during knitting. Its self-holding design eliminates the need for continuous power supply to retain position—reducing energy consumption while ensuring stable yarn feeding. This is critical for producing high-quality garments (sweaters, hats, scarves), as inconsistent yarn tension causes fabric defects like loose stitches or uneven texture.

Developed by Yantai Xinyang, this solenoid addresses two key pain points for textile factories: high energy costs and yarn feeding instability. The self-hold technology is a result of the company’s research into energy-efficient textile components, making it a sustainable choice for modern knitting operations.

• Operating Voltage: DC 24V (compatible with most computerised flat knitting machines).
• Operating Current: 1.5A (peak); 0A during self-hold mode—cuts energy consumption significantly.
• Response Time: ≤0.1s—ensures quick yarn switching (e.g., between colors or yarn types) to avoid fabric defects.
• Self-Hold Function: Maintains position with 0A current after activation—no continuous power required.
• Protection Grade: IP65 (dustproof, waterproof splashing)—resists dust and yarn oil in knitting mills.
• Service Life: ≥100,000 cycles under normal operation—durable for long-term use.
Fits major computerised flat knitting machine brands, including Shima Seiki, Stoll, and Protti. No modifications are needed for installation, saving time for factory technicians.
Compared to non-self-holding solenoids, the 0940N model cuts energy consumption by 60%. For factories with 50+ knitting machines, this translates to significant monthly electricity savings—reducing operational costs and supporting sustainability goals.
The ≤0.1s response time enables quick yarn changes, which is essential for producing patterned or multi-color garments (e.g., striped sweaters). Delayed yarn feeding causes gaps or uneven stitches; this solenoid eliminates such defects.
IP65 rating protects against dust and yarn oil, which are common in knitting mills. This prevents solenoid jamming or corrosion, extending service life and reducing maintenance frequency.
Factories producing multi-color garments (e.g., 5-color children’s sweaters) rely on the solenoid’s rapid response to switch yarns smoothly. The ≤0.1s delay ensures no gaps between color sections, resulting in clean, professional-looking finished products.
Mills aiming to reduce carbon footprints and energy costs benefit from the self-hold design. For example, a factory with 100 knitting machines using this solenoid can save up to 3,000 kWh monthly—lowering both expenses and environmental impact.
In busy mills, dust and yarn oil accumulate quickly, damaging unprotected solenoids. The IP65 rating of the 0940N model prevents this damage, ensuring uninterrupted production and avoiding costly downtime for repairs.
Yantai Xinyang provides voltage and current test reports for each solenoid, confirming compatibility with clients’ knitting machines. This avoids installation issues and ensures the solenoid works seamlessly with existing equipment.
For large orders, the technical team offers on-site guidance to integrate the solenoid into computerised flat knitting machines. This is particularly helpful for factories with limited technical expertise, ensuring proper installation and optimal performance.
The solenoid comes with a 1.5-year warranty against manufacturing defects. For faulty units, repair turnaround time is ≤3 days—minimizing production downtime. Replacement parts are also available for quick fixes, ensuring mills can resume operations rapidly.
