The latch needle cam system of circular knitting machines is analysed using multibody dynamics. A formulation is made to obtain the vertical stiffness between the needle and the cam. By implementing this formulation into the data of the multibody dynamics program, the motion of the needle is described and the forces and impulses between the needle and the cam are obtained.
