HP-GX 5010plus

The Top Weighting Arm for Worsted Ring Spinning Frames

The HP-GX 5010plus meets the most challenging demands that high-end spinning mills make on a top weighting
arm:

• Optimum yarn quality • No restrictions in regard to raw material

• Sustained yarn quality • Free from wear
• High consistency of all quality parameters • Easiest operation
• Minimal variation between spinning positions

In 1988, SUESSEN released the entirely new HP-A Top Weight-

ing Arm family, including the HP-A 510 for worsted ring spinning
frames. The exceptional performance levels delivered by the HP top
weighting arms are world renowned. And this was a decisive factor
behind the EliTe®Compact Spinning System becoming the world’s
most successful compact spinning system.

element and prevents the possibility of lateral forces from acting on
the front top roller position. All top rollers are adjustable with regard to pressure load and posi-
tion.
In addition, the mechanical treatment of the wider top roller sup-
ports will guarantee the precise parallelism of the top and bottom
roller axles.

The HP-GX 5010plus top weighting arm is exclusively suitable for

the shown standard Ø 32 mm support bar profile.

The height setting is now placed at the side of the top weighting
arm. By an eccentric bolt setting is much easier, faster, and more
precise.

The HP-GX 5010plus will provide you with the feature of partial load

adapted to the specification of the other top rollers. It ensures a
perfect smooth running of the apron and avoids the accumulation
