Abstract

A needle selector for a knitting machine has needle selection units arranged in layers at intervals and also has a frame for receiving the needle selection units. A needle selection unit (23) has a bendably supported piezoelectric body (7) and also has a finger (40) engaged with one end of the piezoelectric body (7). A projection (45R) extending laterally outward is formed on at least one side of an intermediate part (43) of the finger (40). A slit (23) allowing the finger (40) to pivot is formed in the frame (31), in the end section on its butt side. The projection (45R) is inserted into the slit (23) of the frame (31) to position the pivoting of the finger (40).
