(54) Spinning machine


(57) A spinning sensor (52) detects a tension of a spun yarn (10) travelling between a spinning device and a winding device. The spinning sensor (52) includes a yarn guide (60) making contact with the travelling spun yarn 10, and a strain sensor to output a signal according to a force applied to the yarn guide 60. The yarn guide 60 has a substantially arcuate cross-sectional contour at a cross section perpendicular to an axial line (64) at least at a portion making contact with the spun yarn (10). A direction parallel to a yarn path of the spun yarn (10) located upstream of the yarn guide (60) is a Y-axial direction. A direction parallel to an axial direction of a draft roller is an X-axial direction. A direction perpendicular to the Y-axial and the X-axial directions is a Z-axial direction. When viewed in the Z-axial direction, an axial line (64) of the yarn guide (60) is inclined with respect to the Y-axial direction.
