The standard version G0 is designed to withstand
the normal hook stress levels and is recommended in
cases where excessive stress occurs only rarely.
The special version G00 is a more favourite
alternative in case where frequent needle overloading
is anticipated or when a slightly open needle leads to
unacceptable striping in the fabric.
“The patented design reduces machine temperature and
energy consumption,increases needle life and is extremely
suitable for high machine speeds.”
• Substantially reduced carbon footprint.
• Energy consumption and machine temperature reduced by
up to 20 %.
• Significant increase in performance.
• Reduced oil consumption due to optimized lubrication.
Main characteristic features of a litespeed needle:
• Optimized needle shank geometry due to partial reduction
of the needle shank thickness in circular knitting needles.
• Reduced needle weight Shank geometry.
•Reduced friction
against the trick walls
•Less energy required
for needle movement
• Less oil fogging
•Reduced oil
requirement due to
optimized lubrication
•Up to 20 % lower
energy consumption
of the machine
•Less energy required
to lower the room
temperature
Benefits of LS(lite speed) Needles

For example: Vota 78.60 G.02
The capital letter at the beginning of the word ( “V”), identifiesthe number of butts and the type of tail.
The first part (78 in the example) indicates the whole lengthrounded off to the mm
The second (.60 in the example) part indicates the gauge of theneedle in hundredths of mm (width of the needle).
The first capital letter indicates the needle manufacturer (G forGroz-Beckert).
The next number is used to distinguish a specific needle amongall the needles produced by the same manufacturer.
For other needles, the latch fixing method is indicated by a “0”before the last number.
A “0” indicates that the latch has been fixed with a standardpressed pin; no “0” means that the latch has been fixed with ascrew pin.
The sinker is the second primary knitting element (the needlebeing the first). It is a thin metal plate with an individual ora collective action operating approximately at right anglesfrom the hook side of the needle bed, between adjacentneedles.
Functions:It may perform one or more of the following functions,
dependent upon the machine’s knitting action andconsequent sinker shape and movement:
Loop formation Holding-down Knocking-over
Cam is the second primary knitting element. The camsare the mechanical devices which convert the rotarymachine drive into suitable reciprocating action forthe needles or other elements. Because all needleshave a reciprocating action either serially or seriatim,except on the bearded needle sinker wheel and loopwheel frames where the fixed needle circle merelyrevolves. The cams are carefully profiled to produceprecisely-timed movement and dwell periods and areof two types:

Power Supply 24V (20-33 V) 50/60 Hz
Run signal (machine is running) 10 – 30 V AC
Max. power 72 VA
Displacement per pump stroke 4.2 – 25 mm³
Adjustable oil dose per lubrication point: 0.3 – 24 ml/h
Max. oil consumption (with all nozzles operating):
Pulsonic (12 oil outlets) 288 ml/h
Pulsonic (24 oil outlets) 576 ml/h
Oil reservoir capacity: 3.5 litre
Weight: 3 kg (approx.)
With optional NKS needle head lubrication the following
are also required:
Compressed air supply 3 bar (max.) (dry - no condensate)
Compressed air consumption at 1.5 bar 0.5 N m³/h for 3 NKS nozzles
