Why Replace Your Drive Band?

Drive bands naturally wear over time. Signs of wear include:

• Stretching
• Slipping
• Cracking
• Reduced tension
• Unusual noise during spinning

Replacing a worn drive band ensures:

✔ Smooth rotation
✔ Stable tension
✔ Reliable twist control
✔ Quiet operation
✔ Consistent spinning performance

Single Drive vs Double Drive

Kromski wheels may operate in different drive systems:

Single Drive with Scotch Tension

• One drive band powers the flyer
• Brake band regulates bobbin tension

Double Drive

• One continuous band drives both flyer and bobbin
• Tension is adjusted mechanically

Drive bands are model-specific and must match your system configuration.

Installation

• Easy replacement
• Manual tension adjustment
• Suitable for regular or intensive spinning use
